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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bumek [7]3 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

Which of the following is a solution to 2cos2x − cos x − 1 = 0?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Solution for the given equation is, x = 0^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that : 2\cos^2x -\cos x -1 =0

Let \cos x =y

then our equation become;

2y^2-y-1= 0           .....[1]

A quadratic equation is of the form:

ax^2+bx+c =0.....[2] where a, b and c are coefficient and the solution is given by;

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Comparing equation [1] and [2] we get;

a = 2 b = -1 and c =-1

then;

y = \frac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(2)(-1)}}{2(2)}

Simplify:

y = \frac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{1+8}}{4}

or

y = \frac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}

y = \frac{ 1 \pm 3}{4}

or

y = \frac{1+3}{4} and y = \frac{1 -3}{4}

Simplify:

y = 1 and y = -\frac{1}{2}

Substitute y = cos x we have;

\cos x = 1

⇒x = 0^{\circ}

and

\cos x = -\frac{1}{2}

⇒ x = 120^{\circ} \text{and} x = 240^{\circ}

The solution set:  \{0^{\circ}, 120^{\circ} , 240^{\circ}\}

Therefore, the solution for the given equation  2\cos^2x -\cos x -1 =0 is, 0^{\circ}

what is the volume of the hamsta snack box with a width of 1 1/2 inches, a length of2 1/2 inches, and a height of 4 inches
jenyasd209 [6]

<u>Given:</u>

The width of the snack box is 1 \frac{1}{2} \ inches=\frac{3}{2} \ inches

The length of the snack box is 2 \frac{1}{2} \ inches=\frac{5}{2} \ inches

The height of the snack box is 4 inches.

We need to determine the volume of the hamsta snack box.

<u>Volume of the box:</u>

The volume of the box can be determined using the formula,

V=L \times W \times H

where L is the length, W is the width and H is the height of the box.

Substituting the values, we get;

V=4 \times \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{5}{2}

Simplifying, we get,

V=\frac{60}{4}

V=15 \ in^3

Thus, the volume of the Hamsta snack box is 15 cubic inches.
