The radius of the circle is given to be r = 14.5
Let the center be O. So OB is the radius = 14.5
We can draw a triangle as shown in the image below. We have a right angled triangle. We know the hypotenuse and the base, we need to find the perpendicular side. This can be done using the Pythagorean theorem.
So, we can write:
Thus, the measure of OA = 10.5
OB = OA + AB
14.5 = 10.5 + AB
⇒
AB = 4
I think the best answer would probably be 1
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u>1. New York City:</u> The initial charge is $ 2.50 plus $ 0.50 per 1/5 mile when traveling above 12 mph or per 60 seconds in slow traffic or when the vehicle is stopped. There are other surcharges for overnight, rush hour or congestion.
<u>2. Boston:</u> First 1/7 Mile: $2.60 and each 1/7 Mile thereafter: $0.40.
<u>3. Houston:</u> First 1/11 mile $2.80
, each additional 1/11 mile $0.20
. Rate per mile after first mile $2.20 and wait time per minute $0.40.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normally, there's a standard fare for each city, so for answering the question we picked three well-known cities for comparing the fares.
<u>1. New York City:</u> The initial charge is $ 2.50 plus $ 0.50 per 1/5 mile when traveling above 12 mph or per 60 seconds in slow traffic or when the vehicle is stopped. There are other surcharges for overnight, rush hour or congestion.
<u>2. Boston:</u> First 1/7 Mile: $2.60 and each 1/7 Mile thereafter: $0.40.
<u>3. Houston:</u> First 1/11 mile $2.80
, each additional 1/11 mile $0.20
. Rate per mile after first mile $2.20 and wait time per minute $0.40.
It's basically 2 similar triangles. Depending on where you put the pin, you are setting the ratio of similitude.
