Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem:

If two secants intersect outside a circle, then the product of the length of the exterior segment of one secant and the length of that secant equals the product of the corresponding parts of the other secant.

In this case:

10 × (10 + 5x + 2) = 9 × (9 + 7x)

10(5x + 12) = 9(7x + 9)

50x + 120 = 63x + 81

-13x = -39

x = 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equating the secants :

10 (10 + 5x + 2) = 9 (9 + 7x)
50x + 120 = 81 + 63x
63x - 50x = 120 - 81
13x = 39
x = 3

The weights of newborn elephants are normally distributed with a mean of 225 pounds and a standard deviation of 45 pounds. Find

Basile [38]

Answer:

0.63043

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean = 225

Standard deviation = 45

P(x > 210) : (x - mean) / standard deviation

P(x > 210) = (210 - 225) / 45

P(x > 210) = - 0.333

P(Z > - 0.333) = 0.63043 (Z probability calculator)

The length of a rectangle is 6 yd longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 44 yd , find its area.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Let's call the length L and the width w.

perimeter = 2L + 2w
44 = 2L + 2w

the length is 6 yards longer than the width. so L = w + 6.

plug this into the equation. 44 = 2(w+6) + 2w
44 = 2w + 12 + 2w
44 = 4w + 12
32 = 4w
w = 8
L = w + 6
L = 8 + 6
L = 14

area = Lw
area = 8(14)
area = 112 yd²
