Answer:

\large{\boxed{\sf Chord = 8cm }}

Step-by-step explanation:

First see figure in attachment . As we know that ,<em>P</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em>d</em><em>i</em><em>c</em><em>u</em><em>l</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>f</em><em>r</em><em>o</em><em>m</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>i</em><em>r</em><em>c</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em>e</em><em>c</em><em>t</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>h</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>.</em><em> </em>Hence here ,

  • OC is the perpendicular bisector of chord AB .
  • Let us assume that AC = x , therefore ,

\sf\qquad\longrightarrow AB = 2AC = 2x

Now in ∆OAC , by Pythagoras Theorem , we have ;

\sf\qquad\longrightarrow (5cm)^2= x^2+(3cm)^2\\

\sf\qquad\longrightarrow 25cm^2=x^2+9cm^2\\

\sf\qquad\longrightarrow x^2=25cm^2-9cm^2\\

\sf\qquad\longrightarrow x^2=16cm^2\\

\sf\qquad\longrightarrow \pink{ x = 4cm }

Therefore , the length of chord will be ,

\sf\qquad\longrightarrow AB = 2x \\

\sf\qquad\longrightarrow AB = 2(4cm)\\

\sf\qquad\longrightarrow \pink{ AB = 8cm }

What is the measure of the missing angle?
Luda [366]

Answer:

B=23.19

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the last side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\21^{2} +9^{2} =c^{2} \\441+81=c^{2} \\\sqrt[3]{58}=c

Then, find the missing angle, lets name it B.

The angle B can be found using the inverse sine function.

B=arcsin(opp/hyp)

B=arcsin(\frac{9}{\sqrt[3]{58} } )\\B=23.19

Determine the values of k and p so that the solution is "All Reals" when solving for y:
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The value of k is  \pm 9 and The value of p is - 23  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation as :

81 y - 17  = k² y + 6 + p

The equation has real solution ,

Now for real solution the equation have no solution

∵ The equation has no solution the ,

The coefficient of y must be equal

I.e 81 = k²

Or, k = \sqrt{81}

∴   k = \pm 9

Again , If the coefficient of y is same then the equation is written as

6 + p = - 17

or, p = - 17 - 6

or, p = - 23

Hence The value of k is  \pm 9 and The value of p is - 23   Answer

What is -7(x-2)=1=15-7x
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-7(x + -2) + 1 = 15 + -7x

Reorder the terms:

-7(-2 + x) + 1 = 15 + -7x

(-2 * -7 + x * -7) + 1 = 15 + -7x

(14 + -7x) + 1 = 15 + -7x

Reorder the terms:

14 + 1 + -7x = 15 + -7x

Combine like terms: 14 + 1 = 15

15 + -7x = 15 + -7x

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.

15 + -15 + -7x = 15 + -15 + -7x

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

0 + -7x = 15 + -15 + -7x

-7x = 15 + -15 + -7x

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

-7x = 0 + -7x

-7x = -7x

Add '7x' to each side of the equation.

-7x + 7x = -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0

0 = -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0

0 = 0

Solving

0 = 0

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.
