Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

The products of chord lengths are the same for the intersecting chords:

  AQ×BQ = CQ×DQ

  6×12 = CQ×(38 -CQ)

This gives a quadratic in CQ:

  CQ² -38CQ +72 = 0 . . . . . write in standard form

  (CQ -2)(CQ -36) = 0 . . . . . factor the quadratic

  CQ = 2 or 36 . . . . . . . values of CQ that make the factors zero

The minimum length of CQ is 2 units. (DQ will be 36.)

The volume of this CONE is 175π cubic units.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

1649.33 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height and the radius be known as "h" and "r" respectively.

<u>Formulae(s):</u>

  • Volume of cylinder: πr²h
  • Volume of cone: πr²h/3

Clearly, we can see that the volume of the cylinder is three times greater than the volume of the cone as,

  • ⇒ πr²h = 3(πr²h/3)
  • ⇒ πr²h = πr²h (True)

<u>Determining the volume of the cylinder;</u>

  • ⇒ Volume of cylinder = Volume of cone × 3
  • ⇒ Volume of cylinder = 175π × 3
  • ⇒ Volume of cylinder = 525π
  • ⇒ Volume of cylinder = 1649.33 units³   (2 d.p)

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 1649.33 units³.

Charles wants to find out if the students in foreign language classes spend more time in class speaking in English or in the for
Nuetrik [128]

C. The way the sample was chosen may overrepresent or underrepresent students taking certain language classes.

The samples he chose may not be a representative sample because the number of students per foreign language class may not be the same. Since classes have different numbers of students, one may have a very large number of students while another may have only a few. Taking equal number of students per class is not a representative sample because it doesn't represent the students correctly.
