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

Write a Let" statement for the unknown, write an equation, and solve the equation. 11. Jane bought a number of records for $7 ea
Advocard [28]

Let n = number of records.

Each record costs $7, so n records cost 7n.

She then spent $3, so the total spent is 3n + 3.

She spent a total of $24, so 3n + 3 must equal 24. That gives us the following equation.

7n + 3 = 24

Subtract 3 from both sides.

7n = 21

Divide both sides by 7.

n = 3

Answer: She bought 3 records.
