Answer:
a). Distance between the gym and store 9.25 m
b). Meghan will walk 5.637 m along the arc AB.
Step-by-step explanation:
a). Theorem of intersecting chords inside the circle,
When two chords intersect each other in a circle multiplication of their segments are equal.
3×7 = 4a
a = [tex]\frac{21}{4}[/tex]
a = 5.25 m
Distance between the gym and store = 4 + 5.25
= 9.25 m
b). Length of an arc = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360}\times (2\pi r)[/tex]
[tex]\widehat{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{64.6}{360}\times 2\pi (5)[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{646\pi }{360}[/tex]
= 5.6374 m
≈ 5.637 m
Therefore, Meghan will walk 5.637 m along the arc AB.
