(a)
To find: The distance between the hub and the fly.
(a)

Answer to Problem 6PSA
The distance is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The fly is sitting at the midpoint of the wooden chord of a circular wheel.
The radius of the wheel is 10 cm and the chord is of 12 cm.
Calculation:
The chord bisects so a right
(b)
To find: The path of the fly when the wheel is spun.
(b)

Answer to Problem 6PSA
The fly path is a
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The fly is sitting at the midpoint of the wooden chord of a circular wheel.
The radius of the wheel is 10 cm and the chord is of 12 cm.
Calculation:
The chord bisects so a right angle triangle is formed with the hypotenuse as radius and the sides of 10 and 6 and the distance from the centre to the fly is,
The pat of the fly is a circle as the fly is still and it is at the end of a radius of a smaller circle.

- Find the area of a square whose diagonal is 10arrow_forwardDecomposition geometry: Mary is making a decorative yard space with dimensions as shaded in green (ΔOAB).Mary would like to cover the yard space with artificial turf (plastic grass-like rug). Mary reasoned that she could draw a rectangle around the figure so that the point O was at a vertex of the rectangle and that points A and B were on sides of the rectangle. Then she reasoned that the three smaller triangles resulting could be subtracted from the area of the rectangle. Mary determined that she would need 28 square meters of artificial turf to cover the green shaded yard space pictured exactly.arrow_forward7. 11 m 12.7 m 14 m S V=B₁+ B2(h) 9.5 m 16 m h+s 2 na 62-19 = 37 +, M h² = Bu-29arrow_forward
