Answer:
x = ±sqrt(5/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
6x^2−2=13
Add 2 to each side
6x^2−2+2=13+2
6x^2 = 15
Divide each side by 6
6/6x^2 = 15/6
x^2 = 5/2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(5/2)
x = ±sqrt(5/2)
Answer:
x =
= 10.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Both problems are done the same way. I will do the first one and you do the second one. OK?
Move the radius x to make a right triangle. The 6 unit segment bisects the chord. So, the legs of the right triangle are 6 and 9
The use the Pythagorean theorem to find x, which is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Now,

= 10.8
None of the answer choices are to the nearest tenth. So, I am confused about that.
In the second problem, the answer should be 11.2
7.5795 ounces of the bar are silver.
