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.

What number is represented by 4x²+17x+2 if x=10?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

at x = 10, $4x^{2} + 17x + 2 = 572$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is $4x^{2} + 17x + 2$

Here, lets substitute the value of x = 10

So, the equation simplifies to ,

$4 \times (10)^{2} + 17(10) + 2$

= (4 x 100) + 170 + 2 = 400 + 170 + 2

= 572

So, at x = 10, $4x^{2} + 17x + 2 = 572$

Write two expressions where the solution is 41

Bogdan [553]

Two consecutive numbers can be defined as x and y, but a better choice is x and x+1. . The product of the two numbers is: x(x+1). We are told this 41 more than the sum. The sum of the two numbers is: x + (x+1). . So the equation we need to solve is: . x(x+1) = x+(x+1)+41 . x^2 +x = 2x + 42 . subtract 2x from both sides . x^2 +x -2x = 2x-2x + 42 x^2 -x = 42 . subtract 42 from both sides . x^2 -x -42 = 42-42 = 0

Mia records the distance traveled in x minutes in the table below, while Alexa uses a graph to record her distance traveled over

notka56 [123]

Answer:

1. Alexa traveled at a faster rate because the slope of her line is $\frac{3}{4}$ , which is greater than the slope of the line described by the data in Mia’s table.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Slope of $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Mia records the distance traveled over the time by the table.

Taking the points (10,5) and (18,9), the slope is given by,

Mia's slope = $\frac{9-5}{18-10}$

i.e. Mia's slope = $\frac{4}{8}$

i.e. Mia's slope = $\frac{1}{2}$

Alexa records the distance traveled over the time by the graph.

Taking the points (4,3) and (8,6), the slope is given by,

Alexa's slope = $\frac{6-3}{8-4}$

i.e. Alexa's slope = $\frac{3}{4}$

As, Alexa's slope = $\frac{3}{4}$ > $\frac{1}{2}$ = Mia's slope.

So, the correct option is,

1. Alexa traveled at a faster rate because the slope of her line is $\frac{3}{4}$ , which is greater than the slope of the line described by the data in Mia’s table.

Peter is making green paint by mixing blue and yellow paint in a cuboid container, shown below. The container has width of 30cm

dusya [7]

Answer: height = 17.5cm

Step-by-step explanation: Peter mixes blue and yellow paint in the ratio 2:3, which means:

$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8.4}{x}$
