What is the approximate length?

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  75.5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways you can work this.

<u>Pythagorean theorem</u>

Triangle CMP is a right triangle. CM = AC = 55. CP = CB -PB = 55 -15 = 40. Then length PM can be found from ...

  PM² +CP² = CM²

  PM = √(CM² -CP²) = √(55² -40²) = √1425 ≈ 37.749

The length MN is twice the length of PM, so is ...

  MN = 2×PM = 2×37.349 = 75.498

The length of MN is about 75.5.

__

<u>Using chord relationships</u>

The products of the different lengths for the same chord are the same for the crossed chords.

  AP×PB = MP×PN

We know MP = PN, so ...

  MP = √(AP×PB) = √((55+40)(15)) = √1425

As before, MN = 2×MP = 2√1425

  MN ≈ 75.5

Solve p=10a+3b for a
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a = (p - 3b)/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

p = 10a + 3b

First, subtract 3b from both sides.

p (-3b) = 10a + 3b (-3b)

p - 3b = 10a

Next, isolate the a. Divide 10 from both sides.

(p - 3b)/10 = (10a)/10

(p - 3b)/10 = a

a = (p - 3b)/10 is your answer.

If f(x+5)=x^+kx+30,k=
Vilka [71]

30 divided by 5 is 6, so the other term is (x+6). (x+5)(x+6) becomes x^2+11x+30, so k is equal to 11.

A man travelled 3/8 of his journey by a rail 1/4 by a taxi 1/8 by and the remaining 2km on foot what is the length of his total
Burka [1]
The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.

Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,

3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1

The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,

x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4

That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,

Let total distance be D.

1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km

Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.
