Answer:
radius ≈ 15.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the radius is RS
the angle between a tangent and the radius at the point of contact is 90°
then Δ RST is a right triangle
using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , then
RS² + ST² = RT² ( substitute values )
RS² + 7² = 17²
RS² + 49 = 289 ( subtract 49 from both sides )
RS² = 240 ( take square root of both sides )
RS = 
≈ 15.5 ( to 1 dec. place )
Answer:
28.4 mpg
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the unit rate, that is, the number of miles per gallon:
216 miles
----------------- = 28.4 mpg (to the nearest tenth)
7.6 gallons
Volume of cylinders = pi x r^2 x height
Simplifying the ratio:
1.6/3 = 16 / 30 (multiply and divide by 10 to remove the decimal)

Volume Ratio = 512:27</span>
If d₁ and d₂ are the lengths of the diagonals, the area is given by
.. A = (1/2)*d₁*d₂
.. A = (1/2)*(12 in)*(16 in)
.. A = 96 in²
If b is the base and h is the height, the area is given by
.. A = b*h
We know the values of A and b, so
.. 96 in² = (10 in)*h
.. (96 in²)/(10 in) = h = 9.6 in
The height is 9.6 in.
