Answer:

<u>The length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = 40</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = x

so, the other segment = 50 - x

A chord of 50 cm bisects a chord of 40 cm

using the Intersecting Chords Theorem

so, x(50-x) = 20 * 20

50x - x² = 400

x² - 50x + 400 = 0

(x - 40)(x - 10) = 0

x = 40 or x = 10

<u>So, the the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = 40</u>

Solve and show your work please!x+7=2(3x-4)
Brrunno [24]

x + 7 = 2(3x - 4)         Remove the brackets

x + 7 = 2*3x - 4*2

x + 7 = 6x -  8            Subtract 7 from both sides.

x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 8 - 7  

x = 6x - 15                 Subtract 6x from both sides

x - 6x = - 15

-5x = - 15                   Divide by -5

-5x/-5 = -15/-5

x = 3

What is the equation of the circle that has a center at (-3, 1) and a radius of 5? A) (x + 3)2 + (y - 1)2 = 5 B) (x - 3)2 + (y +
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the equation of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius. This means that for the circle with center (-3,1) and radius 5 substitute into the vertex form these values. Substitute h = -3, k= 1, and r = 5. The equation becomes (x--3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 5^2. This simplifies to (x+3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 25. The solution is C.
