Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
we should first find the value of x.
Answer:
Option A - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : There are 3 red chips and 2 blue chips. If they form a certain color pattern when arranged in a row, for example RBRRB.
To find : How many color patterns are possible?
Solution :
Total number of chips = 5
So, 5 chips can be arranged in 5! ways.
There are 3 red chips and 2 blue chips.
So, choosing 3 red chips in 3! ways
and choosing 2 blue chips in 2! ways.
As changing the places of similar chip will not create new pattern.
The total pattern is given by,



Therefore, color patterns are possible are 10.
Option A is correct.
Answer:
9.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Secant-Tangent theorem tells us that the product of the secant segment with its external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment.
From the diagram, we can say (let the unknown part of secant line, the part left of the segment length 5, be y):
(15+y)(10) = 17^2
Solving for y we get:

Now we can use the chord theorem to solve for x. Chord theorem tells us that when 2 intersecting chords create 4 segments, the product of the individual chord segments are equal. Thus we can say:
5 * 13.9 = 7 * x
Now solving, we get:

Thus x = 9.93
last answer choice is right.
