Here Q and S are the points on smaller and larger circles respectively and P is the center of both circles.

Given that, radius of smaller circle, PQ= 2.5

and radius of larger circle, PS= 5

RS is a chord of the larger circle and tangent to the smaller circle at point Q.

That's why, ∠PQS will be 90° and the ΔPQS is a right angle triangle.

For ΔPQS, we will use Pythagorean Theorem, according to this theorem here:

(PS)² = (PQ)² + (QS)²

⇒ (5)² = (2.5)² + (QS)² [By plugging PS= 5 and PQ= 2.5]

⇒ 25 = 6.25 + (QS)²

⇒ 18.75 = (QS)² [Subtracting 6.25 from both sides]

⇒ QS = √18.75

⇒ QS = 4.3301

Here Q is the midpoint of the cord RS, so RQ= QS

That means, RS = 2× QS

= 2× 4.3301

= 8.6602

= 8.7 [Rounding to the nearest tenth]

So, the length of RS to the nearest tenth is 8.7

point I is on line segment HJ. GIVEN IJ = 3× + 3, HI = 3× - 1, and HJ = 3× + 8, determine the numerical length of HJ.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Given, IJ = 3x + 3, HI = 3x - 1, and HJ = 3x + 8.

Since I is a point on line segment HJ, we can write

HJ=HI+IJ\begin{gathered} 3x+8=(3x-1)+(3x+3) \\ 3x+8=6x+2 \\ 8-2=6x-3x \\ 6=3x \\ 2=x \end{gathered}

Put x=2 in HJ=3x+8.

\begin{gathered} HJ=3\times2+8 \\ HJ=6+8 \\ =14 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the numerical length of HJ is 14.

IRISSAK [1]
25%


If you are buying 2 shirts for the same price, you have to calculate the cost of the shirt at half price first (1 piece of the pie) and then add it the original price (2 equal pieces of the pie since you just divided that to the price of the second shirt). That would be considered 3 out of 4 pieces off the pie or 75%. Your savings would be 25%.
