Answer:

HJ=20\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

RT and GJ are chords that intersect at point H. If RH = 10 units, HT = 16 units, and GH = 8 units, what is the length of line segment HJ? 18 units 20 units 26 units 28 units

we know that

The <u><em>intersecting chords theorem</em></u>  is a statement that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords within a circle. It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal

so

In this problem

(RH)(HT)=(GH)(HJ)

substitute the given values

(10)(16)=(8)(HJ)

solve for HJ

HJ=160/8\\HJ=20\ units

maria [59]

Answer:

X=49ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of Eagle h=40ft

Angle of depression \theta=35\textdegree

 

Generally the trigonometry equation for diagonal X is mathematically given by

Cos\theta \textdegree=\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} }

Cos\theta \textdegree=\frac{h}{X} }

X=\frac{40}{Cos 35 } }

X=48.83ft

X=49ft

Round 3,989.23655 to the nearest thousandth
inysia [295]
3,989.237
A thousandth = 1/1000 = 0.001
Round 4th decimal place = 5
5 and over is rounding up and under 5 rounds down so it would be 3,989.237
