If one of the lines is tangent (the one whose length equals 8) and the other line is secant (the one that goes from the that intersects the circle), then the square of the length of the tangent is equal to the product of the external secant segment and the total length of the secant, like this:

8²=4×(4+x)

From this equation we can solve for x like this:

64 = 4×4 + 4x

64 = 16 + 4x

64 - 16 = 4x

48 = 4x

12 = x

x = 12

Then, x equals 12

Prove the sum of two rational numbers is rational where a, b, c, and d are integers and b and d cannot be zero. Fill in the miss

mario62 [17]

Answer:

We conclude that the sum of two rational numbers is rational.

Hence, the fraction will be a rational number. i.e.

$\frac{ad+cb}{bd}$ ∵ b≠0, d≠0, so bd≠0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b, c, and d are integers.

Let a/b and c/d are two rational numbers and b≠0, d≠0

Proving that the sum of two rational numbers is rational.

$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}$

As the least common multiplier of b, d: bd

Adjusting fractions based on the LCM

$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad}{bd}+\frac{cb}{db}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{ad+cb}{bd}$

As b≠0, d≠0, so bd≠0

Therefore, we conclude that the sum of two rational numbers is rational.

Hence, the fraction will be a rational number. i.e.

$\frac{ad+cb}{bd}$ ∵ b≠0, d≠0, so bd≠0

The volume of a rectangular prism is 125 units ?. If the height is 25 units, what is the area,

Elza [17]

Answer:

The area of the base would be 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a rectangular prism you would multiple the length, height, and width together. So, to find the area of one side divide one side length, 25, from the volume of 125 (125 ÷ 25), which equals 5 units.
