<h3>Answer: 38.1</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Segment AB is tangent to circle C. That tells us angle ABC is a 90 degree angle (the tangent is always perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency). In other words, segments AB and BC are perpendicular. So triangle ABC is a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is AC = 22+22 = 44 units. One of the legs is BC = 22 units, due to the fact that radii of the same circle are the same length.

We then use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing leg length.

(AB)^2 + (BC)^2 = (AC)^2

(AB)^2 + (22)^2 = (44)^2

(AB)^2 + 484 = 1936

(AB)^2 = 1936 - 484

(AB)^2 = 1452

AB = sqrt(1452)

AB = 38.105118 which is approximate

AB = 38.1 after rounding to the nearest tenth

A three-bedroom house in North Augusta sold for $190,000. If housing prices are expected to increase 1.8% annually in that town,

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

we know that the initial price of the house is $190,000.

We also know that the expected increase is 1.8%, this means that the year zero we have no increase; the price is $190,000.

one year after we have an increase of the 1.8% (or 0.018 in decimal form), this means that the new price is:

$190,000 + $190,000*0.018 = $190,000*(1.018)

another year after, we have:

$190,000*(1.018)*(1.018) = $190,000*(1.018)^2

and etc

The function that models the price as a function of the years, represented as y, is:

P(y) = $190,000*(1.018)^y

If we want to know the price in 5 years, we need to replace y = 5 in the equation:

p(5) = $190,000*(1.018)^5 = $207,726.80

If f(x) = StartFraction x Over 2 EndFraction + 8, what is f(x) when x = 10?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the function

$f(x)=\dfrac{x}{2}+8$

To find the value of the function f(x) at point x=a, you have to substitute a instead of x into the function expression.

In your case, you have to evaluate f(x) when x=10. Substitute 10 instead of x into the function expression:

$f(10)=\dfrac{10}{2}+8=5+8=13$

A jewelry company prints a hidden logo watermark. The watermark is a chord that is 0.8 cm from the center of a circular ring tha

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

length of chord is 6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the length of the chord.

It should be understood that the chord has a length of 0.8cm from the center of the circle of radius 3cm, thereby forming two right-angled triangles with the radius 3cm being the hypotenuse of each and 0.8cm being the height of each.

Now, the chord is divided into 2 by this height dropping from the center of the circle. To calculate the first half, we use Pythagoras’ theorem with 3cm being hypotenuse and 0.8cm being the other side.

mathematically;

3^2 = 0.8^2 + l^2

9 = 0.64 + l^2

l^2 = 9-0.64

l^2 = 8.36

l = √(8.36)

l = 2.89 approximately

The length of the chord would be 2l = 2 * 2.89 = 5.78 cm which is 6cm to the nearest length
