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

9) State the coordinates of the endpoints of a<br> line segment that intersects the y-axis.
eduard

Answer:

(5,4) and (3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A line segment has 2 end points which can be denoted as:

(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

When this line segment intersects at y.

This means that the coordinate on the y axis is the same at both end points

i.e.

y_1 = y_2 = y

(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) becomes (x_1,y) and (x_2,y)

x1 and x2 can be any value but the y value must remain unchanged

Using the above analysis, a possible coordinate is:

(5,4) and (3,4)

Note that there are as many answers as possible as long as the coordinate pair satisfy is of the form (x_1,y)<em> and </em>(x_2,y)<em />

Take for instance, another possible pair is:

(1,-3) and (0,-3)

Application of Geometric Series
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

  7.2224

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the summation is given by the formula ...

  Sn = (a1)(1 -r^n)/(1 -r) . . . . . where a1 is the first of n terms, and r is the common ratio.

Your sum has first term and ratio ...

  a1 = 2(0.6) . . . . . summation term for n=1

  r = 0.6

So the sum is ...

  \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^4{2(0.6^n)}=2(0.6)\dfrac{1-0.6^4}{1-0.6}=\dfrac{1.2}{0.4}(0.8704) = 2.6112

Then the value of the entire given expression is ...

  \displaystyle 2+2\sum_{n=1}^4{}2(0.6^n)=2+2(2.6112)=\boxed{7.2224}

_____

A calculator can help you find the value.
