Give how you solved this please.
If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment (Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem)
so
ST²=RO*RT---------> ST²=23*7----> ST²=161
ST=√161-----> ST=12.69 in
the answer is
ST=12.69 in
The required fraction when multiplied by 8 1/2 so the product is about 5 is 10/17.
Given that,
what fraction would you multiply 8 1/2 so that the product is about 5 is to be determined.
Fraction is defined as the number of compositions that constitute the Whole.
The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.
Here
let the fraction b x
according to question
5 = x * 8 1/2
5 = x * 8.5
x = 5 / 8.5
x = 10 / 17
Thus, the required fraction when multiply by 8 1/2 so the product is about 5 is 10/17.
