Find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Masja [62]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two secants drawn from an external point to the circle.

The (outside ) × (whole) of one secant is equal to the (outside) × (whole) of the other secant, that is

(x + 2)(x + 2 + 2x - 8) = (x + 1)(x + 1 + 2x - 5)

(x + 2)(3x - 6) = (x + 1)(3x - 4) ← expand both sides using FOIL

3x² - 12 = 3x² - x - 4  ( subtract 3x² - x - 4 from both sides )

x - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

x = 8

Two triangles can be formed with the given information. Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangles. C = 71°, a = 27, c = 26
guajiro [1.7K]

We have

SinC/ c  = Sin A / a

Sin 71/ 26 = Sin A / 27

Sin A  = 27 Sin 71 /  26  = about .982

So°

Sin-1(.982)  = A  = 79. 08°

Then angle B = 180 - 71 - 79.08 = 29.92°

And b is given by

b/sin29.92  = 26/sin 71

b = 26sin29.92/sin71 =  about 13.72

But A could also be an obtuse angle = 180 - 79.08 =  100.92°

So we have

B = 180 - 71 - 100.92 = 8.08°

And we have

b / sin 8.08  = 26/sin71

b = 26sin8.08/sin 71 = 3.865
