In Circle P, chord AB measures 4x - 6 centimeters and chord CD measures 6x - 12
centimeters. If Segment AB and Segment CD are each 4 centimeters from P, find AP.
Answers
Answer:
5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
When two chords are equidistant from the center of the circle, the two chords have equal length. Therefore, the length of chord AB, 4x - 6, is equal to the length of chord CD, 6x - 12.
4x - 6 = 6x - 12
6 = 2x
x = 3
Now that we know x = 3, we can substitute the value back into the original expression, 4x - 6, to find the length of chord AB.
AB = 4x - 6 = 4*3 - 6 = 12 - 6 = 6 cm
When measuring the distance between a line and a point, we create a segment through the point perpendicular to the line. In Geometry, we also learn that the perpendicular bisector of a chord in a circle contains the center of the circle.
In this case, the gray line perpendicularly bisects segment AB. PX is 4 cm long and AX is 3 cm long (because AX is half the length of AB). Notice that triangle AXP is a right triangle, so we can use Pythagorean Theorem to find AP.
[tex]AP^{2} = AX^{2} +PX^{2}[/tex]
[tex]AP = \sqrt{3^{2} +4^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]AP =\sqrt{9+16}[/tex]
[tex]AP = \sqrt{25}[/tex]
[tex]AP = 5[/tex]

You have a friendship club. There are 12 members in your club. On the twelfth day of each month, you have a friendship call. Each member of the club talks to every other member that day by phone. This way everybody expresses his or her friendship with each other. How many conversations are made on that day?
Answers
Answer: There are a total of 66 conversations.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, we have 12 members.
let's call them:
member 1, member 2, member 3, etc...
Let's assume that member 1 starts talking to the others, then he talks to:
member 2, member 3, member 4, etc.
So member 1 talks to the other 11 members.
We have already 11 conversations.
Now let's count the conversations of member 2.
He talks to member 1, member 3, etc.
But the conversation between member 1 and member 2 was already counted, so we do not count it this time, then here we have other 10 conversations.
now for member 3. He talks with member 1, member 2, member 4, member 5, etc...
But conversations between member 1 and member 3, and member 2 and member 3 are already counted, so here we have 9 new conversations.
We already can see the pattern here.
For each new member that we count, the number of conversations is one less than for the previous member.
The total number of conversations will be:
11 + 10 + 9 + 8+ 7 + 6+5 + 4 + 3+ 2+ 1 = 66

A rectangular lettuce patch, 560 square feet in area, is to be fenced off against rabbits. Find the least amount of fencing required if one side of the land is already protected by a barn. What are the dimensions?
Answers
The dimensions for the least amount of fencing is 16.7 ft by 33.5 ft
Let x represent the length of the fence and y represent the width of the fence.
Since the area is 560 square feet, hence:
Area = length * width
560 = xy
y = 560/x
One side of the land is already protected by a barn, hence:
Perimeter (P) = x + x + y = 2x + y
P = 2x + y
P = 2x + 560/x
For least amount of fencing, dP/dx = 0, hence:
dP/dx = 2 - 560/x²
0 = 2 - 560/x²
560/x² = 2
2x² = 560
x = 16.7
y = 560/16.7 = 33.5 ft
The dimensions for the least amount of fencing is 16.7 ft by 33.5 ft

Mr. Alvarez makes a walkway of 3 cement slabs.He uses 14 cubic feet of cement to make the walkway.Each square slab has a volume of 4 cubic feet
Answers
Answer:
I suppose that you want to see how we can find the volume of each individual slab with the given information, the procedure is as follows.
The walkway has 3 cement slabs,
He uses a total amount of 14 cubic feet to make the complete walkway.
This means that the 3 cement slabs together have a total volume of 14 ft^3
To find the volume of each slab, we need to find the quotient between the total volume and the total number of slabs, then we get:
Volume of each slab = (14 ft^3)/3 = 4 ft^3
This means that each cement slab has a volume of 4 ft^3.
Answer:
6 ft^3

Convert the following quadratic equation to vertex form. 2) 3x2 - 12x - 5
Answers
Answer:
3(x - 2)² - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Using the method of completing the square.
Given
3x² - 12x - 5 ← factor out 3 from the first 2 terms
= 3(x² - 4x) - 5
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 4x
= 3(x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 ) - 5
= 3(x - 2)² - 12 - 5
= 3(x - 2)² - 17 ← in vertex form
