Find the value of x.
Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Intersecting Chords Theorem: ab = cd
Step 1: Label our variables
a = x
b = x - 11
c = x - 8
d = x - 5
Step 2: Plug into theorem
x(x - 11) = (x - 5)(x - 8)
Step 3: Solve for x
x² - 11x = x² - 8x - 5x + 40
x² - 11x = x² - 13x + 40
-11x = -13x + 40

What was his mistake?
He had a different number of points to the left of the vertical line than to the right of the vertical line.
He had a different number of points above the line of best fit than below the line of best fit.
He didn’t approximate the center of the cluster located on the left side of the vertical line and of the cluster located on the right side of the vertical line.
He didn’t connect the centers of the clusters on the left side and right side of the vertical line to produce the line of best fit.
Answer:
He had a different number of points to the left of the vertical line than to the right of the vertical line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide-center method is the method which involves dividing the data on the graph into two equal parts and then fin the line of best fit. The center of each group is approximated and then a line is constructed between two centers which is estimated as line of best fit.

Sandra spotted the sailboat from the shore and measured the angle from the waterline to the top of the boats mast to be 7° if the top of the mask is 23 feet above the water how far is the middle of the sailboat from the shore? Estimate your answer to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
The middle of the sailboat is approximately 268.8 feet from the shore.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance from shore to the middle of the boat be represented by x, the angle of elevation of Sandra from the shore to the top of the boat mast is 7°. Applying the required trigonometric function to this question, we have;
Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
Tan 7° = [tex]\frac{23}{x}[/tex]
⇒ x = [tex]\frac{23}{Tan 7^{0} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{23}{0.12279}[/tex]
= 268.7515
∴ x = 268.8 feet
The middle of the sailboat is approximately 268.8 feet from the shore.

288.4m
Step-by-step explanation:
This track is split into a rectangle and two semi-circles.
We can find the length of the semi-circles by finding its circumference with the formula [tex]2\pi r[/tex].
[tex]2\cdot3.14\cdot30\\188.4[/tex]
However this is half a circle, so:
[tex]188.4\div2=94.2[/tex].
There are two semi-circles.
[tex]94.2\cdot2=188.4[/tex]
Since there are two legs of 50m each, we add 100 to 188.4
[tex]188.4+100=288.4[/tex]m
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the perimeter, we first look at the rectangle in the middle. the length is 50m, and there are two sides to it, so: 50 * 2 = 100m for the top and bottom of the track.
For the circle, we can see the diameter is 30m. To solve for the circumference, we need to use the formula 2πr.
15 * 2π ≈ 94.2477796077
We add that to 100m and get:
194.2477796077

La fuerza necesaria para evitar que un auto derrape en una curva varía inversamente al radio de la curva y conjuntamente con el peso del auto y el cuadrado de la velocidad del mismo. Supongamos que 400 libras de fuerza evitan que un auto que pesa 1600 libras derrape en una curva cuyo radio mide 800 si viaja a 50mph. ¿Cuánta fuerza evitaría que el mismo auto derrapara en una curva cuyo radio mide 600 si viaja a 60mph ?
Answer:
768 libras de fuerza
Step-by-step explanation:
Tenemos que encontrar la ecuación que los relacione.
F = Fuerza necesaria para evitar que el automóvil patine
r = radio de la curva
w = peso del coche
s = velocidad de los coches
En la pregunta se nos dice:
La fuerza requerida para evitar que un automóvil patine alrededor de una curva varía inversamente con el radio de la curva.
F ∝ 1 / r
Y luego con el peso del auto
F ∝ w
Y el cuadrado de la velocidad del coche
F ∝ s²
Combinando las tres variaciones juntas,
F ∝ 1 / r ∝ w ∝ s²
k = constante de proporcionalidad, por tanto:
F = k × w × s² / r
F = kws² / r
Paso 1
Encuentra k
En la pregunta, se nos dice:
Suponga que 400 libras de fuerza evitan que un automóvil de 1600 libras patine alrededor de una curva con un radio de 800 si viaja a 50 mph.
F = 400 libras
w = 1600 libras
r = 800
s = 50 mph
Tenga en cuenta que desde el
F = kws² / r
400 = k × 1600 × 50² / 800
400 = k × 5000
k = 400/5000
k = 2/25
Paso 2
¿Cuánta fuerza evitaría que el mismo automóvil patinara en una curva con un radio de 600 si viaja a 60 mph?
F = ?? libras
w = ya que es el mismo carro = 1600 libras
r = 600
s = 60 mph
F = kws² / r
k = 2/25
F = 2/25 × 1600 × 60² / 600
F = 768 libras
Por lo tanto, la cantidad de fuerza que evitaría que el mismo automóvil patine en una curva con un radio de 600 si viaja a 60 mph es de 768 libras.

What is the reason: if a+c=b+c then a=b
Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1:
a+c=b+c then a=b
First let the value of a and b be different (not equal)
a=5
b=7
c=10
a+c=b+c
5+10=7+10
15≠17
Example 2:
Let the value a and b be equal (the same)
a=5
b=5
c=10
a+c=b+c
5+10=5+10
15=15
So when,
a+c and b+c is equal, a and b are always equal.
Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤
Answer:
a=b
Step-by-step explanation:
Reason:
a+c=b+c
a-b=c-c
c-c would be 0
if a-b=c-c=0
a-b=0
Only if a=b can a-b=0
You can also take it as:
b-a=c-c (a+c=b+c)
b-a=0=c-c
Therefore b=a

Use slope-intercept form to graph each system of equations and solve each system.
Answer:
(0,3), graph is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the first equation will increase 2 points in y for every 1 x, since the constant next to x is 2. We also know it's y-intercept will be 3.
As for the second equation, we know it will have no y and instead run through the y=3 line, crossing every value of x.
Graphing this, we see that these lines intersect at (0,3) so that's the solution to this system.

The equation for the line of best fit for the data is y = 28x. How can the y-intercept and slope of this line be interpreted
Answer:
The answer can be interpreted by the distance moved by each gallon :))

A power failure on the bridge of a Great Lakes freighter has resulted in the ship's navigator having to do her own calculations. She measures the angle between the ship's course and a lighthouse on shore as 32°. After the ship has travelled 1500 m, she measures the angle to be 72°. Determine if the ship was closer to or farther from the lighthouse at the second sighting, and by what distance. (4 marks)
It is impossible to measure the length of a particular swamp directly. Kendra put a stake in the ground and measured from the stake to opposite ends of the swamp, the results being 410 m and 805 m. She measured the angle between the distances to be 57°. What is the length of the swamp? (4 marks)
Answer:
1) The ship is closer
2) 675.73 m
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The given parameters are;
The initial angle between the ship's course and the lighthouse = 32°
The final angle between the ship's course and the lighthouse = 72°
The distance traveled by the sip between he two positions = 1500 m
Therefore we have a triangle formed between the distance covered by the ship and the two distances of the ship from the lighthouse, a and b
Where;
a = The initial distance fro the lighthouse
b = The final distance fro the lighthouse
The angles of the triangle are
32°, (180 - 72) = 108° and 180 - 32 - 108 = 40°
By sine rule we have;
1500/(sin(40)) = a/(sin(108)) = b/(sin(32)) =
Therefore, a = sin(108°) × 1500/(sin(40°)) = 2219.37 m
b = (sin(32°)) × 1500/(sin(40°)) = 1236.61 m
Therefore, a > b
The initial distance fro the lighthouse > The final distance fro the lighthouse, which shows that the ship is closer
2) By cosine rule we have
a² = b² + c² - 2× b×c×cos(A)
Where the given measurements by Kendra are;
410 m and 805 m with an included (in between) angle of 57°, we have;
Let b = 410 m, c = 805 m, and A = 57°, we have;
a² = 410^2 + 805^2 - 2× 410×805×cos(57 degrees) = 456608.77 m²
a = The length of the stream = 675.73 m.
