The value of x according to the given task is; 12.

<h3>What is the value of x?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the value of x is to be determined.

Since, lines AB and BC are both tangent to the circle and they both share a point of intersection; it follows that;

5x = 3x +24

  • collect like terms

2x = 24

  • divide both sides by 2

x = 24/2

x = 12.

Which points lie on the line that passes through point P and is parallel to the given line? Check all that apply.
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

(-1, 3), (-2, 2) and (-5, -1) lie on the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line which is parallel to the given line is y = mx + c

Here m is the slope of line similar to the line given = (y - y')/(x - x')

Here (x, y) and (x', y') are (4, 2) and (-2, -4)

then m = (2+4)/(4+2) = 6/6 = 1

Now the equation of the line will be y = x + c

This line passes through point P(0, 4)

4 = 1×0 + c

c = 4

Therefore equation of the line will be

y = x + 4

Now we check for each point given in the question whether it lies on the line or not.

For (-4, 2)

y = (-4) + 4 = 0

Hence not lies on the line.

For (-1, 3)

y = (-1) + 4 = -1 +4 = 3

Hence (-1,3) lies on the line.

For (-2, 2)

y = (-2) + 4 = -2 + 4 = 2

Hence (-2, 2) lies on the line.

For (4, 2)

y = 4 + 4 = 8

Hence (4, 2) lies on the line.

For (-5, -1)

y = -5 + 4 = -1

Hence (-5, -1) lies on the line.

Therefore (-1, 3),(-2, 2) and (-5, -1) lie on the line.

Hi:) I tried using the sine rule but I couldn’t get the ans :( anyone able to help? Thank you:)!!
matrenka [14]

Answer:

141.9° (1 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see attached picture for full solution.

Sine rule cannot be used since there is no given angle in △PQR. Note that the bearing of Q from P (041°) equals to ∠NPQ not ∠PQR.
