What fraction of the students in the class named baseball their favorite sport

mojhsa [17]

now, let's take a peek at the denominators, we have 3 and 8 and 12, we can get an LCD of 24 from that.

Let's multiply both sides by the LCD of 24, to do away with the denominators.

so, let's recall that a whole is "1", namely 500/500 = 1 = whole, or 5/5 = 1 = whole or 24/24 = 1 = whole. So the whole class will yield a fraction of 1/1 or just 1.

$\bf ~\hspace{7em}\stackrel{\textit{basketball}}{\cfrac{1}{3}}+\stackrel{\textit{soccer}}{\cfrac{1}{8}}+\stackrel{\textit{football}}{\cfrac{5}{12}}+\stackrel{\textit{baseball}}{x}~=~\stackrel{\textit{whole}}{1} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{24}}{24\left(\cfrac{1}{3}+\cfrac{1}{8}+\cfrac{5}{12}+x \right)=24(1)}\implies (8)1+(3)1+(2)5+(24)x=24 \\\\\\ 8+3+10+24x=24\implies 21+24x=24\implies 24x=3 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{3}{24}\implies x=\cfrac{1}{8}$

What is the radius of circle c

Oxana [17]

Answer:

radius = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached picture below. We can calculate radius with the help of the Pythagorean theorem. But first we have to find out the values of the two legs.

First let's find the shorter leg.

<u>Equidistant Chords Theorem</u>

Two chords are congruent if they are equidistant from the center.

Chords in the picture are congruent and that means that the distance from the center to each of them is the same!

Let's calculate the distance. But to get the distance we have to find x first.

Since the distances are the same:

$x + 3 = 2x + 1\\2 = x$

Therefore:

$\text{distance (short leg)} = 2x + 1 = 2\cdot2 + 1 = 5$

Let's focus on the longer leg. Since part of the radius is perpendicular to the chord, it actually bisects the chord! That means that the long leg is going to be a half of the length of the chord.

Therefore:

$\text{long leg} = \frac{\text{chord}}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12$
