Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The chord, if the ends connected with the center, form an isosceles triangle with two sides being a radius of the circle.

Length of chord = x
Height of triangle = h = 5 cm
Radius = r = 26/2 = 13 cm

<u>From the triangle we get:</u>

(x/2)² + h² = r²
x²/4 + 5² = 13²
x²/4 = 144
x/2 = 12
x = 24

The length of the chord is 24 cm

Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude from the centre to the chord is 5 cm and bisects the chord.

The radius of the circle is 26 cm ÷ 2 = 13 cm

There is a right triangle formed with legs 5 and x ( x is half the chord )

The hypotenuse is the radius, then using Pythagoras' identity

x² + 5² = 13²

x² + 25 = 169 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{144}$ = 12

Then

length of chord = 2x = 2 × 12 = 24 cm

HELP A GIRLL OUT I GAVE YOU ALL MY POINTS!! HELPP! 1. a. What is James’s new texting speed if he practices for only 1 month? ___

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

1. a. His new texting speed after one month is 2 + 1/2 = 2.5 characters per second.

b. After two months it will be 2 + (1/2) * 2 = 3 characters / second.

c. Answer is 2 + 1/2 * 3 = 3.5 characters/second/.

2. The answer is s = 1/2m + 2

3. To solve for m we write 8 = 1/2m + 2 → 6 = 1/2m → m = 12 months.

4. 10r + 4 = 8 → 10r = 4 → r = 0.4

5. The variable r represents the rate she must increase her texting speed by per month.

6. A scenario could be "Allison has 37 marbles in a jar. She took out 5 from the jar and wants to divide the remaining amount equally among her 8 friends. How many marbles does each friend get?".

The number of measles cases increased 13.6 % to 57 cases this year, what was the number of cases prior to the increase? (Express

ELEN [110]

Answer:

The number of cases prior to the increase is 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the number of measles cases increased by 13.6% and the number of cases after increase is 57.

We need to find the number of cases prior to the increase.

Let x be the number of cases prior to the increase.

x + 13.6% of x = 57

$x+x\times \frac{13.6}{100}=57$

$x+0.136x=57$

$1.136x=57$

Divide both the sides by 1.136.

$\frac{1.136x}{1.136}=\frac{57}{1.136}$

$x=50.176$

$x\approx 50$

Therefore the number of cases prior to the increase is 50.

A tv costs £800 plus VAT at 20% what is the total cost of the tv?

slamgirl [31]

hello friend ☺

Given :

TV cost = 800 £

VAT = 20 %

Amount of VAT

= 20% of 800

= 800 × 20 /100

= 160 £

So Total cost of TV

= original price + VAT

= 800 + 160

= 960 £
