Find the value of x in the circle below. Assume that lines that appear to be tangent are tangent.8O2O48OO12

Mathematics

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

PLSSSS HELPPP find the surface area and volume of the prism ILL GIVE BRAINLIESTT
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: 94 and 60, 96 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:

1. For surface area, you need to find the area the sides and base.

Base: 3*4= 12

Side 1: 4*5= 20

Side 2: 3*5= 15

Multiply each by 2.

12*2= 24

20*2= 40

15*2= 30

Add them up.

30+40+24= 94 is the surface area.

For the volume, you multiply each given number.

3*4*5

length * width * height = volume

60 is the volume.

2. For surface area, you need to find the area the sides and base. This is a triangular prisim so the formula is differrent.

Base: 3*7= 21

Side 1: (area of a triangle is 1/2bh) 3*4= 12 / 2= 6

Side 2: (area of a triangle is 1/2bh) 3*4= 12/2= 6

Side 3 (the back): 4*7= 28

Side 4 (the shaded): 5*7= 35

Add them up. This isn't a rectangular prisim so we aren't multiplying the found areas again, in the triangula rpriism we already found ALL areas.

21+6+6+28+35

= 96 is the surface area.

For the volume, you multiply each given number. You follow for triangles,

1/2 BAH

7*4*3=84

84/2

= 42 is the volume.
