The answer is going to be yes it's rational. hope that helped
Answer:
9.12 + 9.12 = 18.24 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Diameter = 23 inches (given)
Radius = 11.5 inches
2 Chords of length = 14 inches ( You didn't specify if the 14 inches is for both chords or for a single cord. I'll assume it's for two cords 14 and 14inches apart.
To clearly solve this, we'll make some mild assumptions.
Let the perpendicular distance of the chords from the center of the circle to represented as " x and y"
Therefore:
x^2 + 7^2 = 11.5 ^ 2
x^2 + 49 = 132.25
x^2 = 132.25 - 49
x^2 = 83.25
x = √ 83.25
x = 9.12 inches
Since the cords have thesame length (Assumed from the way the question was structured, the distance would still be thesame)
y^2 + 7^2 = 11.5 ^ 2
y^2 + 49 = 132.25
y^2 = 132.25 - 49
y^2 = 83.25
y = √ 83.25
y = 9.12 inches
Therefore, the distance will be :
9.12 + 9.12 = 18.24 inches
Have fun!
10 is your common difference
B. False
X and Y are two different variables.
