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 }

ms. eskew's class had a class average of 77 % on their math test. how would this be written as a ratio? a. 23:100 b. 77:100 c. 5
valina [46]
Writing in percentages is actually writing a fraction with 100 on its denominator.
By doing so, we can easily compare data.
For example 1/2 may be written as 50/100 and it is denoted by 50%.

So, in your question, 77% means 77/100.
Since fractions represent ratios, writing in ratio form, we get 77:100. The answer is (b)77:100

If y is directly proportional to x and when y = 35, x = 140, what is the value of x when y = 70?
levacccp [35]

Answer: 280 = x


Step-by-step explanation: Okay you are using this equation! y = kx But you must rearrange it!

When rearranged you get y/x = k

Plug in x and y!

y/x = k

35/140 = k

0.25 = k

Now find the value of x.

You use this formula now, y/k = x

Plug in k from the last problem and y = 70

y/k = x

70/0.25 = x

280 = x
