Answer 2

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the radius

Answer 3

so do i do 24=6x and then do 24/6=6x/6 which=4

Answer 4

\[r = x\]

Answer 5

no, you do \[r^2 = 6^2+12^2\]

Answer 6

because that line from the center to the chord is perpendicular, it bisects it, giving you 12 as the base of the triangle, 6 as the height, and r as the hypotenuse.

Answer 7

the answer is12

Answer 8

Whose answer is 12?

Answer 9

these are the answer choices


5.5
4.9
12.0
13.4

Answer 10

Well, obviously it isn't one of the first 2, because 6 doesn't even go from the center to the edge, right? 12 is a a trap answer.

\[r^2 = 6^2+12^2 = 36 + 144 = 180\]\[r = \sqrt{180} = \sqrt{9*20} = 3\sqrt{20} = 3\sqrt{4*5} = 3*\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{5} = 6\sqrt{5}\]\[\sqrt{5} \approx 2.236\]\[6\sqrt{5}\approx 13.4\]

The plane is vertical. What best describes the shape of the cross section?

Answer 13

My preference is one question per post, thanks. Also, I prefer helping people who give out medals when they get help!
