Point B is a point of tangency. Find the radius r of OC.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bumek [7]2 years ago

Answer:

r = 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

AB is the tangent drawn from a point A to the circle C.

BC = r [Radius of the circle]

Length of AC = (18 + r)

AB = 30

By the property of a tangent drawn to a circle,

"Radius of a circle and tangent are perpendicular to each other"

AB ⊥ BC

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,

AB² + BC² = AC²

(30)² + r² = (r + 18)²

900 + r² = r² + 36r + 324

36r = 900 - 324

r = \frac{576}{36}

r = 16 units

Of the coffee makers sold in an appliance​ store, 4.0% have either a faulty switch or a defective​ cord, 2.5% have a faulty​ swi
lukranit [14]

Answer: Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let A be the event of getting a faulty switch.

Let B be the event of getting a defective cord.

Here, P(A∪B) = 4% = 0.04

P(A∩B) = 0.1% = 0.001

P(A) = 2.5% = 0.025

We need to find P(B):

As we know that

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.025-0.001\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.024\\\\P(A)=0.04-0.024=0.376

Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.
