In the 1970s, due to world events, there was a gasoline shortage in the United States. There were often long lines of cars waiting at gas stations. Part A: If there were 41 cars in a line that stretched 388 feet, what is the average car length? Assume that the cars are lined up bumper-to-bumper. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Part A: The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot

Part B: The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

# Part A:

- There were 62 cars in a line that stretched 567 feet

- The cars are lined up bumper-to-bumper

- That means there is no empty spaces between the cars

* To find the average length of the car we will divide the length of

the line by the numbers of the cars

∵ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars

∵ The length of the line is 567 feet

∵ The numbers of the cars is 62 cars

∴ The average car length = 567/62 = 9.1 feet

* The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot

# Part B:

- There are 1000 cars

- We need to find the length of line which contained the cars

∵ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars

∵ The average of car length is 9.1 feet

∵ The number of the cars is 1000 cars

∴ 9.1 = length of the line/1000

- Multiply both sides by 1000

∴ The length of the line = 9.1 × 1000 = 9100 feet

∴ The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that 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.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
