Hint: Here we will find the longest chord of the circle i.e, the line segment whose length is maximum when joined from one point on the circumference of the circle to the other on the circumference.

Complete step-by-step answer:

We know that a chord is a line segment which joins two points on the circumference of a circle.

Also, the longest chord of the circle passes through its center.

Now since the diameter of the circle passes through its center

Hence diameter is the longest chord of the circle.

AB is the diameter of the circle with center as O shown in the figure.

Therefore the given statement “The longest of all chords of a circle is called a diameter.” is true.

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Additional Information: Circle is the locus of all points which are at equal distance from a fixed point called the center of the circle. The distance between the center and each of the points is called radius of the circle.

Also, on joining all the adjacent points together we get the circumference of the circle.

Now the distance between any two points on the opposite side of the circumference is called the chord of the circle and the chord passing through the center is called its diameter.

Hence diameter is equal to twice the distance between center and the point on circumference.

Therefore, diameter is twice the radius of the radius.

A circle is a special kind of ellipse in which the eccentricity is zero and the two foci are coincident.

Note: Students should note that the diameter D of the circle is equal to twice its radius R.

D=2R

What is the difference between Laplace Transform and fourier Transform?
marta [7]

Real time mapping of a function to a new function is known as Fourier transforms. The new mapped function is defined for an interval of (-∞, ∞).

<span>While the Laplace transform is the counterpart, in which a function is mapped to a new function on complex plane. Functions defined for span t≥0 are used by Laplace transformation. </span>

Answer:

I'm just gonna tell you the answer and you'll have to show the work on your own. A penny doubled everyday for a month equals a little over $5 million dollars. So you would want to go with the second option.

1. A sphere is sliced so that the cross section does not intersect the center of the sphere.
stich3 [128]
1. The shape of cross-section is a circle.
2. The face parallel to ABCD is EFGH. Since this is a a rectangular shape,

A = L*H = 12*6 = 72 cm^2

3. The cross-section parallel to ABC is DEF with h = 12 ft, b= 5ft (where h is the height and b is the base of a right angled triangle).

Area, A = 1/2 *b*h = 1/2*5*12 =30 ft^2

4. Plane BDHF is a rectangle shape whose length is the diagonal of ABCD.

Diagonal BD = sqrt (AB^2+BD^2) = sqrt (8^2+7^2) = 10.63 cm.
Perimeter, P = 2(BD+DH) = 2(10.63+6) = 33.26 cm
