Two secant segments are drawn to a circle from a point outside the circle. The external segment of the first secant segment is 8 centimeters and its internal segment is 6 centimeters. If the entire length of the second secant segment is 28 centimeters, what is the length of its external segment?

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Two secant segments are drawn to a circle from a point outside the circle.

External segment of the first secant segment = 8 centimeters

Internal segment of the first secant = 6 centimeters.

Entire length of the second secant segment = 28 centimeters.

To find:

The length of its external segment.

Solution:

Let x be the length of its external segment.

Entire length of the first secant segment = 8+6 = 14 centimeters.

If two secant segments are drawn to a circle from a point outside the circle, then product of entire length of first secant and external length of first secant is equal to product of entire length of second secant and external length of second secant.

[tex]14\times 8=28\times x[/tex]

[tex]112=28x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 28.

[tex]\dfrac{112}{28}=x[/tex]

[tex]4=x[/tex]

Therefore, the length of external segment of second secant is 4 centimeters.

The radar on a ship picks up two shipwrecks, A and B, 2.5 miles beneath the surface. The distance between the shipwrecks is 0.6 miles. The angle of depression, q, to Shipwreck B depends on the horizontal distance, d, from the ship to Shipwreck A. Write a function for q in terms of d.

Answers

We have
tan 12.5 = 60 / adj rearrange as
adj = 60 / tan 12.5 = about 270.64 m

Using the principle of trigonometry, the angle of depression, q can be expressed in terms of the horizontal distance, d as [tex]q = tan^{-1} [\frac{(d + 0.6)}{2.5}] [/tex]

Using Pythagoras :

SOHCAHTOA

Horizontal distance, d to shipwreck A is added to the distance between shipwrecks A and B to obtain the total horizontal distance

Total horizontal distance = opposite = (d + 0.6) miles

Vertical distance = Adjacent = 2.5 Miles

To obtain the angle of depression, q :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

[tex] tan q = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}= \frac{total \: horizontal \: distance}{height} [/tex]

[tex] tan q = \frac{d + 0.6}{2.5} [/tex]

Therefore, q can be written in terms of d thus ;

[tex]q = tan^{-1} [\frac{(d + 0.6)}{2.5}] [/tex]

2 step equations: solve the equation below:
m/5+9=11

Answers

Answer:

m=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    m/5+9-(11)=0

                 m

Simplify   —

                 5

  m          

 (— +  9) -  11  = 0  

   5

Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

           9        9 • 5

   9 =  —  =  —————

            1           5  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

m + 9 • 5                       m + 45

—————————  =  ——————

    5                                       5  

     (m + 45)    

 ———————— -  11  = 0  

          5

Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

             11          11 • 5

   11 =  ——  =  ——————

             1               5  

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

    (m+45) - (11 • 5)                                  m - 10

—————————————————  =  ——————

            5                                                          5  

    m - 10

 ——————  = 0  

        5

When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

   m-10

 ———— • 5 = 0 • 5

      5  

Now, on the left hand side, the  5  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  m-10  = 0

Solve  :    m-10 = 0  

Add  10  to both sides of the equation :  

                     m = 10

m = 10

what is 25 2/3 - 15 1/3 =

Answers

Answer:

10 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert mixed numbers into improper fractions (whole number × denominator + numerator)

25 2/3 and 15 1/3

25 × 3 + 2 = 75 + 2 = 77

Put the number over the same denominator

77/3

15 × 3 + 1 = 45 + 1 = 46

Put the number over the same denominator

46/3

77/3 - 46/3

They have common denominators so we can simply subtract the numerator values

77 - 46/3

Elsa Is taking physical fitness tests in her strength training class. Each day, her results are compared to her resutts from previous days. The first day she completes a test is considered the baseline, and Is represented by 0. For instance, on the first day she did the flexibility test, her result was calculated as 0. On the second day, in comparison to her first day's result, she was able to reach 1 1/16 inches less than the first day, which was recorded as -1 1/16. Then, on the third day, Elsa recorded a result of -5/8.

A. On which day did Elsa reach farther: the second or third day?

B. By how much?​

Answers

Answer:

A) The second day

B) 9/16 inches

A) Elsa reached farther on the second day because -1/16 > -5/8

B) To calculate this we must first put both fractions above the same denominator. We can then subtract the smaller one from the bigger one:

-1/16 - (-10/16) = 9/16

Elsa reached 9/16 inches farther on the second day then she did on the first.

Hope this helps and have a great day!

Answers

Answer:

(5,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one of the equations gives x in terms of y , ie x = 1 - 4y

Then this can be substituted directly into the other equation.

→ 2(1 - 4y) + 7y = 3 → 2 - 8y + 7y = 3 → -y = 1 → y = -1

now, substitute y = -1 into x = 1 - 4y , to obtain x

→ x = 1 - 4(-1) = 1 + 4 = 5

Thus solution is (5 , -1 )

How do you know if it is inequality or not w/ fraction?

An equation or an inequality that contains at least one variable is called an open sentence. When you substitute a number for the variable in an open sentence, the resulting statement is either true or false. If the statement is true, the number is a solution to the equation or inequality.

To solve an inequality using the following steps:

1) Eliminate fractions by multiplying all terms by the least common denominator of all fractions.

2) Simplify by combining like terms on each side of the inequality.

3) Add or subtract quantities to obtain the unknown on one side and the numbers on the other.
