The spoke of a wheel reaches from the center of the wheel to its rim if the circumstance of the rim of the wheel is 27 inches how long is each spoke round up to the nearest hundredth

Circumference = 2*pi*r = 27"
Solve for r
r=27"/(2*pi)
=27"/(2*3.14159265)
=4.297..."
=4.30" (to the nearest hundredth of an inch)

In the first triangle 80+20+p=180 (since sum of all angles of a triangle is 180)so p= 80also in second triangle 55+45+q=180 (since sum of all angles of a triangle is 180)so q=80so we can conclude that p=80 degrees q=80 degrees so p=q=80 degreeshence option b is correct

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
