Points H and F lie on circle c What is the length of line segment GH?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points H and F lie on circle with center C. EG = 12, EC = 9 and ∠GEC = 90°.

To find: Length of GH.

Sol: EC = CH = 9 (Radius of the same circle are equal)

Now, GC = GH + CH

GC = GH + 9

Now In ΔEGC, using pythagoras theorem,

$(Hypotenuse)^{2} = (Base)^{2} +(Altitude)^{2}$ ......(ΔEGC is a right triangle)

$(GC)^{2} = (GE)^{2} +(EC)^{2}$

$(GH + 9)^{2} = (9)^{2} +(12)^{2}$

$(GH )^{2} + (9)^{2} + 18GH = 81 + 144$

$(GH )^{2} + 81 + 18GH = 81 + 144$

$(GH )^{2} + 18GH = 144$

Now, Let GH = <em>x</em>

$x^{2} +18x = 144$

On rearranging,

$x^{2} +18 x - 144 = 0$

$x^{2} - 6x +24x + 144 = 0$

$x (x-6) + 24 (x - 6) =0$

$(x - 6) (x + 24) = 0$

So x = 6 and x = - 24

∵ x cannot be - 24 as it will not satisfy the property of right triangle.

Therefore, the length of line segment GH = 6 units. so, Option (D) is the correct answer.

A high school coach needs to buy new athletic shorts for the 15 members of the basketball team. The coach must spend less than $

AfilCa [17]

If the budget is $200 and he have 15 members then we have divide the two. 200 / 15 = $13.33 per shorts. 15x =< $200. x represents 13.33. So the solution represents the coach may spend up to $13.33 per pair of shorts. If it was even 1 cent more than $13.33 than he wouldn't have enough.So he can spend up to $13.33 or less per pair of shorts.
