Note
Tangents from an external point to a circle's circumference are equal.

So
WZ = WX

WZ = 5a + 12
WX = 7a + 5

7a + 5 = 5a + 12 Subtract 5 from both sides.
7a = 5a + 12 - 5
7a = 5a + 7 Subtract 5a from both sides.
7a - 5a = 7
2a = 7 Divide by 2
a = 7/2
a = 3.5

If the quotient of a number and 15 is added to 1/5 the result is 17/15.find the number

earnstyle [38]

Hello,

Let's assume x the number
$\dfrac{x}{15} + \dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{17}{15} \\

 \dfrac{x}{15} + \dfrac{3}{15} = \dfrac{17}{15} \\

x+3=17\\
x=17-3\\
x=14

A circle with area 9 pi, has sector with central angle of 17/9 pi radians

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The area of the sector is 17/2 π

Step-by-step explanation:

pi = π

To solve this problem we first have to find the fraction that corresponds to this angle of the total, for this we must divide the angle that they give us by 2π radians, since that is the angle of a circle

(17π/9 rad) / (2π rad) = 17/18

Now we multiply the area of the circle by this fraction and we will obtain the area of the sector that we want

9π * 17/18 = 17/2 π

The area of the sector is 17/2 π
