Answer:
AB = 4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent and secant are drawn from an external point to the circle.
Then the square of the measure of the tangent is equal to the product of the external part of the secant and the entire secant.
let AB = x, then
x(x + 5) = 6²
x² + 5x = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² + 5x - 36 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 9)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = - 9
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
However x > 0 ⇒ x = 4 ⇒ b = 4 CM
A hypothesis is only tentative: to make sure it's valid, you have to test it.
There are two costs involved:
1) the cost for lunch, which is given as a rate per student: $7.25/student
2) the cost for the trip which is $443.75 to be divided by the 25 students, so it is $443.75 / 25 = $17.75/student
Now, you can add up those two costs per student to have the total cost per student:
$7.25 + $17.75 = $25.00/student
Answer: $25.00
