First of all, sorry for not including a picture - I hope I can describe this well enough:

Call the centre of the circle O, the chord AB (touching the circumference at A and B) and the midpoint of AB M. From circle theorems, we know that a radius, passing through the midpoint of a chord, will be perpendicular to it. Therefore we have a right-angled triangle OMA, with the hypotenuse OA forming the radius of length 13in, the line OM being 5in as stated in the question, and the side AM being an unknown.

By Pythagoras' theorem, AM = <span>√(13^2 - 5^2) = 12in (it's a 5,12,13 Triple)

Because M is the midpoint of AB, this value needs to be doubled to get the length of AB as 24in. One inch is 2.54cm (3sf), so the length of the chord is:

24 * 2.54 = 60.96cm, which rounds to 61.0cm (3sf)

I hope this helps

There are 36 possible combinations that can occur when 2 dice are rolled. For the sake of this question, we'll count instances where dice 1 = 3/dice 2 = 2 and dice 1 = 2/dice 2 = 3.

Now, let's think about all of the possible ways a total of 5 could be rolled.

1 + 4

2 + 3

3 + 2

4 + 1

That's 4 possibilities to roll a total of 5 out of 36 possible outcomes.

4 / 36 = ? / 180

---Now, we need to use a proportion in order to figure out the possibilities out of 180.

36x = 720

x = 20

If you rolled a pair of fair dice 180 times, you would expect to roll a total of 5, 20 times.

Hope this helps!

Find the side AB using the law of sines with the one of the sides 11 and the angles 82 and 44 degrees
Rasek [7]

Answer:

7.7

Step-by-step explanation: We are trying to find side c  or side AB

Using the law of sines formula,

a/sin a= b/sin b c/sin c we can solve for missing side.

We are  given side BC or side a which is 11

We also are given angle A is 82 degrees

Angle C is  44 degrees also.

So let set up a proportion.

11/sin 82= x/sin 44

11/sin 82× sin 44=x

x= 7.7
