A great circle is a section of a sphere that passes through its center. If the earth were a sphere, a great circle would be the equator and its axis would be the line connecting the geographic north and south pole. The length of the axis is then equal to the diameter of the sphere. For this problem, the radius of the sphere is 12 inches. A section is formed by slicing through the sphere and all sections of a sphere are circles. Considering the plane to be cut above and parallel with the equator (which is a great circle), the distance of the plane from the center of the sphere would then be the distance between the centers of the sphere and section. It is also given that the radius of the section is 9 inches. A right triangle is formed by connecting the center of the sphere, an edge of the section, and back to the center of the sphere whose hypotenuse is 12 inches (radius of the sphere), one leg is the 9 inches (radius of the section), and another leg is the distance of the plane from the sphere's center. Thus, the distance can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, d = sqrt(12^2 - 9^2) = sqrt(144 - 81) = sqrt(63) = 3*sqrt(7).

those in bold are the answer
X^2 - 8x-9=0
D = b^2- 4*a*c = 64- 4* (-9) = 64+36=100 =10^2
X1 = (8-10)/2 = -1
X2= (8+10)/2= 9
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
Let's first establish that triangle BCD is a right-angle triangle.
Therefore, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find BC and solve this problem. Pythagoras theorem is displayed below:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where c = hypotenus of right-angle triangle
Where a and c = other two sides of triangle
Now we can solve the problem by substituting the values from the problem into the Pythagoras theorem as displayed below:
Let a = BC
b = DC = 24
c = DB = 26
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 24^2 = 26^2
a^2 = 26^2 - 24^2
a = square root of ( 26^2 - 24^2 )
a = square root of ( 676 - 576 )
a = square root of ( 100 )
a = 10
Therefore, as a = BC, BC = 10.
If we want to check our answer, we can substitute the value of ( a ) from our answer in conjunction with the values given in the problem into the Pythagoras theorem. If the left-hand side is equivalent to the right-hand side, then the answer must be correct as displayed below:
a = BC = 10
b = DC = 24
c = DB = 26
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2
100 + 576 = 676
676 = 676
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, BC is equivalent to 10.
