Inscribed Circle For Problems 55-58, the lines that bisect each angle of a triangle meet in a single point , and the perpendicular distance from to each side of the triangle is the same. The circle with center at and radius is called the inscribed circle of the triangle (see the figure).
Show that the area of triangle is , where .
Then show that

- Problems 45 and 46 refer to Figure 22, which shows a circle with center at C and a radius of r, and right triangle ADC. Figure 22 Find AB if r = 5 and AD = 12.arrow_forwardFor Questions 1 through 6, fill in each blank with the appropriate word or number. If (x,y) is a point on the unit circle and t is the distance from (1,0) to the point along the circumference of the circle, then x is the _______ of t and y is the ________ of t.arrow_forwardA single-threaded (or single-start) square-thread screw is shown in Figure 5-6. The lead of a screw is the distance that the screw advances in one turn (revolution). The lead is equal to the pitch in a single-threaded screw. Given the number of turns and the amount of screw advance, determine the leads.arrow_forward
- Problems 45 and 46 refer to Figure 22, which shows a circle with center at C and a radius of r, and right triangle ADC. Figure 22 Find r if AB=4 and AD=8.arrow_forwardFor Questions 1 through 7, fill in each blank with the appropriate word or number. In a 306090 triangle, the hypotenuse is always ______________ the shortest side, and the side opposite the 60 angle is always _________________ times the shortest side.arrow_forwardIf the distance between -2, 3 and -2,a is 5 units, find all possible values of a.arrow_forward
- Laying Phone Cable City A lies on the north bank of a river that is 1 mile wide. You need to run a phone cable from City A to City B, which lies on the opposite bank 5 miles down the river. You will lay L miles of the cable along the north shore of the river, and from the end of that stretch of cable you will lay W miles of cable running under water directly toward City B. See Figure 2.108. Figure 2.108 You will need the following fact about right triangles: A right triangle has two legs, which meet at the right angle, and the hypotenuse, which is the longest side. An ancient and beautiful formula, the Pythagorean theorem, relates the lengths of the three sides: Lengthofhypotenuse=Lengthofoneleg2+Lengthofotherleg2 a. Find an appropriate right triangle that shows that W=1+(5L)2 b. Find a formula for the length of the total phone cable P from City A to City B as a function of L. c. Make a graph of the total phone cable length P as a function of L, and explain what the graph is showing. d. What value of L gives the least length for the total phone cable? Draw a picture showing the least-length total phone cable.arrow_forwardUse the information given in Figure 1 to find x, h, s, and r if y=3. (Note: s is the distance from A to D. and y is the distance from D to B .)arrow_forwardFor Problems 37 through 42, use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve each problem. Heading and Distance Two planes take off at the same time from an airport. The first plane is flying at 246 miles per hour on a course of 135.0. The second plane is flying in the direction 175.0 at 357 miles per hour. Assuming there are no wind currents blowing, how far apart are they after 2 hours?arrow_forward
