Suppose that we have a right triangle $ABC$ with the right angle at $B$ such that $AC = \sqrt{61}$ and $AB = 5.$ A circle is drawn with its center on $AB$ such that the circle is tangent to $AC$ and $BC.$ If $P$ is the point where the circle and side $AC$ meet, then what is $CP$?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

  CP = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of segment BC is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

  AC² = AB² +BC²

  (√61)² = 5² + BC² . . . . . fill in the given numbers

  61 -25 = BC² = 36 . . . . .subtract 25

  BC = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

Since the center of the circle is on AB and is tangent to BC, it must pass through point B. That is, segment BC of length 6 is one of the tangent lines from point C. The other one, to point P, must be the same length, so ...

  CP = 6

chese

Step-by-step explanation:

Cheese is a dairy product, derived from milk and produced in wide ranges of flavors, textures and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. During production, the milk is usually acidified and the enzymes of rennet (or bacterial enzymes with similar activity) are added to cause the milk proteins (casein) to coagulate. The solids (curd) are separated from the liquid (whey) and pressed into final form.[1] Some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout. Most cheeses melt at cooking temperature.

Which number is next 2 7 8 3 12 9

Answers

The correct answer is: 4

Explanation:
In the given series, there are three sub-series, which are as follows:

Series-1: 2, 3, ?
Series-2: 7, 12, ?
Series-3: 8, 9, ?

In series-1, "1" is being added to every number. Hence, the next number is 4.
In series-2, "5" is being added to every number, Hence, the number next to 4 will be 17.
In series-3, "1" is being added to every number. Hence, the next number to 17 will be 10.

But as the question is asked about the next number to 9, hence the correct answer will be 4.

Answer:

Next number is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  2 7 8 3 12 9

To find : which number is next

Solution : We have given that  2 ,7 ,8, 3 ,12 ,9.

We can see this  it has two group ( 2,7,8) ;( 3 , 12, 9)

Second group is created by first

First number on adding 1 in 2

Second number on adding 5 in 7

Third number on adding 1 in 8

Now we can create next group by second group

3 + 1 = 4

12 + 5 = 17

9 +1 = 10

Then next group would be ( 4 ,17,10 )

Therefore, Next number is 4.

Answers

to see this relationship, all you need to know is some basic trig. 

consider triangle ABC. the sin(β)=b/c ; cos(α)=b/c, therefore sin(β)=cos(α). also, since this is a right triangle, β and α are complements
