Find the radius of a circle, given that the center is at (3,-3) and the point (7,6) lies on the circle.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{radius=\sqrt{97}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is the distance between the center and any point on the circle.

The formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We have the center (3, -3) and other point on the circle (7, 6).

Substitute:

$r=\sqrt{(6-(-3))^2+(7-3)^2}=\sqrt{9^2+4^2}=\sqrt{81+16}=\sqrt{97}$

The perimeter of a triangle is 510 feet and the sides are in the ratio of 11:16:24. Find the area of the triangle

Nutka1998 [239]

If the sides are in the ratio of 11:16:24, it means that they are all multiples of a same number x, according to these factors.

So, the shorter side is 11x feet long, the middle one is 16x feet long, and the longest side is 24x feet long.

This means that the perimeter is

$11x+16x+24x = 51x$ feet long. But we know that this is 510 feet, so we have

$51x = 510 \implies x = \cfrac{510}{51} = 10$ .

So, the three sides are 110, 160 and 240 feet long.

To find the area of a triangle knowing its three sides, you can use Heron's formula, which states that, if $s$ is half the perimeter of the triangle whose sides are $a,b,c$ , the area $A$ is given by
