The length of the line joining the center of the circle and each coordinate is equal.
Let the center of the circle be (a, b), then
(a - 10)^2 + (b - 3)^2 = (a - 3)^2 + (b - 10)^2 = (a + 4)^2 + (b - 3)^2
a^2 - 20a + 100 + b^2 - 6b + 9 = a^2 - 6a + 9 + b^2 - 20b + 100 = a^2 + 8a + 16 + b^2 - 6b + 9
a^2 - 20a + 100 + b^2 - 6b + 9 = a^2 - 6a + 9 + b^2 - 20b + 100 . . . (1)
a^2 - 20a + 100 + b^2 - 6b + 9 = a^2 + 8a + 16 + b^2 - 6b + 9 . . . (2)
From (1): 14a - 14b = 0 => a = b
From (2): 28a = 84 => a = 84/28 = 3
Therefore, center = (a, b) = (3, 3)
Answer:
Mark’s method is correct, because even though it is impossible to deliver mail to 1.2 houses in a minute, 1.2 represents the unit rate of houses per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just took the test.
(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)
24/x = 8/5
24*5 = x*8
120 = 8x
8x = 120
8x/8 = 120/8
x = 15
The tree is 15 feet tall
