Last summer, Marrero was at Newgrange, a stone mound in Ireland that has a diameter of 250 feet. He found a walkway 62 feet long

that leads to the center of the mound. Help Marrero find perpendicular distance x from the end of the walkway to either side of the mound.

Answer:

  • 108 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The line connecting the center with the end of the walkway is radius and is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Horizontal leg is the distance x.

<u>Vertical leg has the length:</u>

  • (250)/2 - 62 = 63 ft

<u>Using Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x:</u>

  • x² = (250/2)² - 63²
  • x² = 125² - 63²
  • x² = 11656
  • x = √11656
  • x = 107.96 ≈ 108

Line ab contains the points a(-2,3) and b(4,5). Line ab has a slope that is
gayaneshka [121]

Given two points A = (A_x, A_y),\ B = (B_x,B_y), the slope of the line passing through the two points is

m = \dfrac{A_y-B_y}{A_x-B_x}

So, in your case, you have

m = \dfrac{3-5}{-2-4} = \dfrac{-2}{-6} = \dfrac{1}{3}

A circle is drawn within a square as shown.
Vinil7 [7]
<h3>Area of shaded region is 21.5 square centimeter</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the square minus the area of the circle

<em><u> Find the area of the square</u></em>

Area\ of\ square = a^2

Where, "a" is the length of each side

From given figure in question,

a = 10 cm

Area\ of\ square = 10^2\\\\Area\ of\ square = 100\ cm^2

<em><u>Find the area of circle </u></em>

The area of the circle is given as:

Area\ of\ circle = \pi r^2

Where, "r" is the radius of circle

Diameter = 10 cm

r = \frac{diameter}{2}\\\\r = \frac{10}{2}\\\\r = 5

Thus,

Area\ of\ circle = 3.14 \times 5^2\\\\Area\ of\ circle = 3.14 \times 25\\\\Area\ of\ circle = 78.5\ cm^2

<em><u>Find the area of the shaded region</u></em>

Area of shaded Region = Area of Square - Area of Circle

Area of shaded Region = 100 - 78.5 = 21.5

Thus area of shaded region is 21.5 square centimeter
