Two circles have a common chord of 16 in. Their centers are 21 units apart from each other. One of the circles has a radius of 17 in. a)Make an accurate diagram of this situation.

b)Find a possible radius measurement for the second circle.

Half of cord 24/2 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In the circle with r = 13 we have 13^2 = 12^2 + a^2 where a = the distance from the centre of this circle to the cord. Thus a = 5. Then the distance from the cord to the other circle centre is 21 - 5 = 16. In the second circle you can write r2^2 = 16^2 + 12^2. The r2 = sqrt (400) = 20

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
