The radius of circle O is 28, and OC =9. What is the length of AB?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer:
the complement of the question proposed one of the choices given beneath:
a) 58.8
b) 53.0
c) 29.4
d) 26.5

as we observe at the figure, AOB an isosceles triangle, and OCB is a right triangle

consider OCB
OC =9, OB= radius = 28
the problem is how to find the length of CA, for that C is a midpoint of segment AB, so AC=BC

BC can be found by using pythagorean theorem
OB²= OC² + CB², this implies CB² = OB² - OC²

CB² = 28² - 9² = 784 - 81=703, therefore CB= sqrt (703)=26.51

CB=26.51, since CB= AC, so AC=CB= 26.51

finally the the length of AB is AB = 2 x CB = 2x AC= 2x 26.51= 53.0

the answer is b) 53.0

5x⁴ - 3x³ + 6x) - (3x³ + 11x² - 8x)

Expand the second bracket by multiplying throughout by -1
5x⁴ - 3x³ + 6x - 3x³ - 11x² + 8x

Group like terms and simplify
5x⁴ - 3x³ - 3x³ - 11x² + 6x + 8x

5x⁴ - 6x³ - 11x² + 14x

The mean weight 20 students in a room is 65 kg one student one student who weight is 88kg went into the room what is the new mea

umka2103 [35]

The new mean is 66.09

Explanation:

Mean weight of 20 students = 65kg

One student with 88kg entered the room.

New mean = ?

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0}{20} = 65$

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0 + 88}{21} = ?$

The above equation can further be written as:

$x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 65 X 20\\\\x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 1300$

New mean = $\frac{1300 + 88}{21}$

= 66.09

Therefore, the new mean is 66.09

Answer:

180 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Like you can see in the picture, I like to set up a proportion, so 81 over X and 45 over 100. Then, you can cross multiply, so 81 x 100 = 8100 and then divide, 8100 ÷ 45 = 180, your answer!

The volume of a Cylinder is given by the formula v=pir2h, where are is the radius of the cylinder and H is the height. Suppose a

faust18 [17]

You just need to plug those expressions inside the formula: it doesn't matter if they're expressions involving a variable instead of plain numbers: the formula becomes

$V = \pi (x+8)^2(2x+3)$

If you want, you can simplify it by expanding the square and then multiply the two parenthesis:

$V = \pi (x^2+16x+64)(2x+3) = \pi (2 x^3 + 35 x^2 + 176 x + 192)$
