Solution :

We observe that :

$\overline {BA} \perp \overline {WX}$

But BA is the perpendicular.

From the center B and WX is a chord.

Therefore, TW = TX (perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects it)

Consider Δ BTX,

∠BTX = 90° (BA ⊥ WX)

BT = XT (Δ BTX is isosceles)

Since the angles opposite to equal sides are equal of a triangle arc are equal.

∠BTX = ∠BXT

But in the triangle,

∠TBX + ∠TXB + ∠BTX = 180°

∠TBX + ∠TBX + 90° = 180°

2 ∠TBX = 90°

∠TBX = 45°

From trigonometry, we get

$\sin \theta =\frac{TX}{BX}$    ...............(1)

WX = 10

i.e., TX + TW = 10

But TX  = TW

     2 TX = 10

         Tx = 5

BX = radius of circle.

∴ $\sin 45^\circ = \frac{5}{BX}$

  $\frac{1}{\sqrt2} = \frac{5}{BX}$

 $BX = 5\sqrt2$

        $=5 \times 1.41$

        = 7

Therefore, the radius of the circle is 7 units.

Answer:

blue circle = 62.8 cm

orange circle = 31.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

orange circle = π2r = (3.14)(2)(5) = 31.4 cm

blue circle = π2r = (3.14)(2)(10) = 62.8 cm

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The mean is 11.5 minutes and the standard deviation is of 6.64 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The mean is:

M = \frac{a+b}{2}

The standard deviation is:

S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}}

Arrival time of 9:18 am and a late arrival time of 9:41 am.

9:41 is 23 minutes from 9:18. So the time is uniformily distributed between 0 and 23 minutes, so a = 0, b = 23.

Mean:

M = \frac{a+b}{2} = \frac{0+23}{2} = 11.5

Standard deviation:

S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{(23 - 0)^{2}}{12}} = 6.64

The mean is 11.5 minutes and the standard deviation is of 6.64 minutes
