Answer: 21.44 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Radius r=15 cm

distance of chord from the center is 10 cm

From the figure, the length of the chord is AC

Applying Pythagoras

$\Rightarrow AO^2=OB^2+AB^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2=15^2-10^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2=225-100=115\\\Rightarrow AB=\sqrt{115}=10.72\ cm$

The length of the chord is $AC=2AB=21.44\ cm$

Alvin wants to know what his average paddling rate was for a canoe trip to a campsite. On the way there it took him 8 hours agai

Marizza181 [45]

let

r--------> Alvin's average paddling rate in km/hour

y -------> speed of the current in km/hour

we know that

speed= distance/time ------> solve for distance

distance=speed*time

to Campsite against the current

speed=r-y-----> speed=(r-3)

time=8 hours

distance=(r-3)*8------> equation 2

From Campsite with the current

speed=r+y-----> speed=(r+3)

time=3 hours

distance=(r+3)*3------> equation 1

equate equation 1 and equation 2-----> because is the same distance

(r+3)*3=(r-3)*8----> 3r+9=8r-24----> 8r-3r=24+9-----> 5r=33----> r=6.6 km/hour

therefore

the answer is

Alvin's average paddling rate is 6.6 km/hour

In 4 years, Ms. Squires has experienced three regular years, and one leap year.

Regular year - 365 days
Leap year - 366 days.

(365*3)+366=1461

1461 days is the correct answer.

The number of mosquitoes in Anchorage, Alaska (in millions of mosquitoes) as a function of rainfall (in centimeters) is modeled

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

7 centimeters of rain will produce the maximum number of mosquitoes (49 millions of mosquitoes)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the function

$m(x)=-x^2+14x$

where

m(x) is the number of mosquitoes in Anchorage, Alaska (in millions of mosquitoes)

x is the rainfall (in centimeters)

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex represent a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the centimeters of rain that will produce the maximum number of mosquitoes

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

$m(x)=-x^2+14x$

Factor -1

$m(x)=-(x^2-14x)$

Complete the square

$m(x)=-(x^2-14x+7^2)+7^2$

$m(x)=-(x^2-14x+49)+49$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$m(x)=-(x-7)^2+49$

The vertex is the point (7,49)

therefore

7 centimeters of rain will produce the maximum number of mosquitoes (49 millions of mosquitoes)
