Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: the secant-tangent rule states that when a secant and a tangent meet at an external point of a circle, the product of the secant and the external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment
(x)(3) = 6² (secant-tangent rule)
3x = 36
Divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = 36/3
x = 12
Born: 7.45 pounds
gains: 6.4 oz a week
time: 1.5 months
6.4 + 6.4 + 6.4 + 6.4 + 6.4 + 6.4 = 38. 4 oz
38.4 oz = 2.4 punds
7.45 + 2.4 = 9.85
