If a car goes around a turn too quickly, it can leave tracks that form an arc of a circle. By finding the radius of the circle,

accident investigators can estimate the speed of the car. To find the radius, accident investigators choose points A and B on the tire marks. Then, the investigators find the midpoint C of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. Use the diagram to find the radius r of the circle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Given:
Segment AC = 130 feet
Segment CD = 70 feet

To find r, the radius, I'll use the Pythagorean theorem since r is the hypotenuse.

Segment CE = r - 70 feet

Applying the Pythagorean theorem:
r² = 130² + (r - 70)²
r² = 16,900 + (r - 70)(r - 70)
r² = 16,900 + r² - 140r + 4,900
r² - r² + 140r = 16,900 + 4,900
140r = 21,800
r = 21,800 / 140
r = 155.71 feet

Therefore, the circle's radius measures 155.71 feet.

Answer: 155.7

Detailed solution:

Start with the given information.

Length of segment AC is 130 feet.

Length of segment CD is 70 feet.

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem here, where r^{2} equals a^{2} plus b^{2}.

To determine segment CE, calculate r minus 70.

Thus, r^{2} equals 130^{2} plus (r-70)^{2}.

Expression: r^{2} equals 16,900 plus r^{2} minus 140r plus 4,900.

Move -140r to the left side, eliminate the two r^{2}, then combine 16,900 and 4,900.

This results in 140r equals 21,800.

Divide both sides by 140.

The radius r calculates to 155.7 when rounded to one decimal place.

Inessa [3926]

Answer: 0.46

Step-by-step explanation:

B&B Motors' mini trucks yield 0.59; all four companies combined yield 0.39; mini trucks yield 0.13. Hence, 0.59 - 0.13 equals 0.46.

Find the interest for each loan. $252 at 8% for 2 years: ________ $400 at 2% for 6 months:________ $5,000 at 3.5% for 1 year:___
lawyer [4039]

Hello! I'm here to assist you! To calculate interest, we apply the formula prt, which involves multiplying the principal (the amount of money initially), the rate (the interest rate), and the time (typically in years). Here are the results:

$252 at 8% over 2 years yields $40.32
$400 at 2% for a duration of 6 months results in $4
$5,000 at 3.5% for 1 year gives $175
$6,240 at 10% for 9 months amounts to $468

For period calculations, we convert months into decimals: 6 months equals 0.5 years, and 9 months equals 0.75 years. Simply multiply the principal amount by the percentage in decimal form and by the time, and that’s it!

Sin 1 + sin 2 + sin3 .................+ sin 360 = ?
PIT_PIT [3949]

Assuming arcs are measured in degrees, let S represent the following sum:

S = sin 1° + sin 2° + sin 3° +... + sin 359° + sin 360°


By rearranging, S can be reformulated as

S = [sin 1° + sin 359°] + [sin 2° + sin 358°] +... + [sin 179° + sin 181°] + sin 180° +
+ sin 360°

S = [sin 1° + sin(360° – 1°)] + [sin 2° + sin(360° – 2°)] +... + [sin 179° + sin(360° – 179)°]
+ sin 180° + sin 360°          (i)


However, for any real k,

sin(360° – k) = – sin k


Thus,

S = [sin 1° – sin 1°] + [sin 2° – sin 2°] +... + [sin 179° – sin 179°] + sin 180° + sin 360°

S results in 0 + 0 +... + 0 + 0 + 0        (... since sine of 180° and 360° are both equal to 0)

Therefore, S equals 0.


Each pair within the brackets negates itself, leading the sum to total zero.

∴   sin 1° + sin 2° + sin 3° +... + sin 359° + sin 360° equals 0.          ✔


I hope this clarifies things. =)

The proof diagram to complete the question state the missing reason in the proof for the letter given
tester [3938]

ANSWER

Initially, it was established that line p is parallel to line r.

To begin with the proof:

As stated in the prompt:

∠1 ≈∠5

∠1 and ∠5 are corresponding angles.

Utilizing the property of corresponding angles,

if two lines are intersected by a transversal such that the corresponding angles are


congruent, then those lines must be parallel.


In the diagram, q acts as the transversal.

Thus, based on this characteristic,

line p is parallel to line r.

Proof of 1(a)

REASON

Vertically opposite angle

When two lines intersect, the angles formed are referred to as vertically opposite angles.

Therefore,

∠4 and ∠1 are vertically opposite angles,

hence,

∠4 ≈∠1

Proof of 2(b)

REASON

Alternate interior angle

The angles situated on either side of the transversal, within the two lines, are termed alternate interior angles. When two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, the alternate interior angles produced will be congruent.

Since line p is parallel to line r (as proven above)

and q is the transversal,

then

∠4 ≈∠5

Thus, it is established.

Proof of 3 (c)

Given that ∠4 ≈ ∠5 (as demonstrated above)

REASON

If two lines are intersected by a transversal such that the alternate interior angles are congruent, then those lines are parallel.

Thus, based on the previously mentioned property,

line p is parallel to line r.

Therefore, it is proven.
