Answer:

The length of the chord is 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, a line from the center of the circle to a chord divides the chord into 2 equal portions

From the first part of the question, we can get the radius of the circle

The radius form the hypotenuse, the two-portions of the chord (12/2 = 6 cm) and the distance from the center to the chord forms the other side of the triangle

Thus, by Pythagoras’ theorem; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus,

r^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

r^2= 64 + 36

r^2 = 100

r = 10 cm

Now, we want to get a chord length which is 6 cm away from the circle center

let the half-portion that forms the right triangle be c

Using Pythagoras’ theorem;

10^2 = 6^2 + c^2

c^2 = 100-36

c^2 = 64

c = 8

The full

length of the chord is 2 * 8 = 16 cm

What is a good strategy for finding the distance between two numbers on a number line?
Gnom [1K]
The strategy is following
Smaller number subtract from the greater. Result is distance between two numbers

For example you have 3 and 8
8-3-5
5 is the distance between 3 and 8
It also works with the negative numbers, for example 3 and -5
3-(-5)=8

A matrix a is given. determine if the system ax = b (where x and b have the appropriate number of components) has a solution for
Alborosie
We can write the system in the following form:
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}5&-4&4&2\end{array}\right]  \left[\begin{array}{c}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{array}\right]  =b
The above system is equivalent to the following equation:
5x_1-4x_2+4x_3+2x_4=b,\forall b\in\mathbb{R}
Of course, the above system has solution for any values of b since there is one equation and four variable, there is infinite number of solution each time.

Choose the fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form.
Gennadij [26K]

We are required to choose the fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form

The fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form is 19/38 and 10/18

1. 21 / 34 is in its simplest form

factors of 21 = 1, 7 and 21

factors of 34 = 1, 2, 17 and 34

No common factor of 21 and 34 except 1

2. 15/16

factors of 15 = 1, 3, 5, 15

Factors of 16 = 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16

No common factor of 15 and 16 except 1

3. 19/38

factors of 19 = 1, 19

factors of 38 = 1, 2, 19 and 38

divide both numerator and denominator by 19

So,

19 / 38 = 1/2

4. 10/18

factors of 10 = 1, 2, 5 and 10

factors of 18 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18

So,

10/18

divide both numerator and denominator by 2

= 5/9
