Answer:

Both the parts of this question require the use of the "Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem".

Part A

The definition of the Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem is:

"If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment."

This, when applied to our case becomes, "The length of the secant RT, times its external segment, ST, equals the square of the tangent segment TU".

Mathematically, it can be written as:

Part B

It is given that RT = 9 in. and ST = 4 in. Thus, it is definitely possible to find the value of the length TU and it can be found using the Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem as:

Thus,  

Thus the length of TU=6 inches

There are three local factories that produce radios. Each radio produced at factory A is defective withprobability .02, each one
diamong [38]

Answer:

The probability is 0.02667

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call D1 the event that the first radio is defective and D2 the event that the second radio is defective.

So, if we select both radios any factory, the probability P(D2/D1) that the second radio is defective given that the first one is defective is:

P(D2/D1) = P(D2∩D1)/P(D1)

Taking into account that 0.02 is the probability that a radio produced at factory A is defective, P(D2/D1) for factory A is:

P(D2/D1)_A=\frac{0.02*0.02}{0.02} =0.02

At the same way, if both radios are from factory B, the probability P(D2/D1) that the second radio is defective given that the first one is defective is:

P(D2/D1)_B=\frac{0.01*0.01}{0.01} =0.01

Finally, if both radios are from factory C, the probability P(D2/D1) that the second radio is defective given that the first one is defective is:

P(D2/D1)_C=\frac{0.05*0.05}{0.05} =0.05

So, if the radios are equally likely to have been any factory, the probability to select both radios from any of the factories A, B or C are respectively:

P(A)=1/3

P(B)=1/3

P(C)=1/3

Then, the probability P(D2/D1) that the second radio is defective given that the first one is defective is:

P(D2/D1)=P(A)P(D2/D1)_A+P(B)P(D2/D1)_B+P(C)P(D2/D1)_C

P(D2/D1) = (1/3)*(0.02) + (1/3)*(0.01) + (1/3)*(0.05)

P(D2/D1) = 0.02667
