Answer: A. 32

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of the intersecting chord theorem and segment addition postulate.

The intersecting chord theorem states that when two chords intersect at a point, P, the product of their respective partial segments is equal.

The Segment Addition Postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

Given information

CW = 12

TW = 14

VW = 2x + 5

UW = 2x + 2

Given expression deducted from intersecting chord theorem

CW · VW = TW · UW

Substitute values into the expression

(12) · (2x + 5) = (14) · (2x + 2)

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

24x + 60 = 28x + 28

Subtract 14x on both sides

24x + 60 - 24x = 28x + 28 - 24x

60 = 4x + 28

Subtract 28 on both sides

60 - 28 = 4x + 28 - 28

32 = 4x

Divide 4 on both sides

32 / 4 = 4x / 4

x = 8

Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate

UT = UW + TW

Substitute values into the expression

UT = 2x + 2 + 14

Substitute x value into the expression

UT = 2 (8) + 2 + 14

UT = 16 + 2 + 14

Combine like terms

UT = 32

Hope this helps!! :)

A vertical cylinder is leaking water at a rate of 4m3/sec. If the cylinder has a height of 10m and a radius of 2m, at what rate

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Therefore the rate change of height is $\frac{1}{\pi}$ m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a vertical cylinder is leaking water at rate of 4 m³/s.

It means the rate change of volume is 4 m³/s.

$\frac{dV}{dt}=4 \ m^3/s$

The radius of the cylinder remains constant with respect to time, but the height of the water label changes with respect to time.

The height of the cylinder be h(say).

The volume of a cylinder is $V=\pi r^2 h$

$=( \pi \times 2^2\times h)\ m^3$

$\therefore V= 4\pi h$

Differentiating with respect to t.

$\frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi \frac{dh}{dt}$

Putting the value $\frac{dV}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow 4\pi \frac{dh}{dt}=4$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{4}{4\pi}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{\pi}$

The rate change of height does not depend on the height.

Therefore the rate change of height is $\frac{1}{\pi}$ m/s.

HELP ASAP PLZZ

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The Answer is A. 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The way i Divide fractions is by if you take the second fraction and swap the numbers around, you can do 7/24 TIMES 48/35. then you multiply the numbers NOT in a crossway like 7 times 35 butin a straight way so its 7 times 48. Doing so will get you 336/840. I simplified this answer by 6 and got 56/140 then i simplified it again by 4 to get 14/35 and once more i simplified it by 7 to get 2/5.
