Answer:

x=49\degree,y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle x corresponds to the complement of the 41\degree in the bigger triangle. See diagram in attachment.

This implies that,

x=90-41=49\degree


Also since the triangles are similar, the sides are in the same proportion.

This implies that,

\frac{3y-8}{15}=\frac{4}{6}


We multiply both sides by 15 to get,

3y-8=\frac{4}{6}\times 15


\Rightarrow 3y-8=\frac{2}{3}\times 15


\Rightarrow 3y-8=10


\Rightarrow 3y=10+8


\Rightarrow 3y=18


We divide through by 3 to get,

y=6


The correct answer is D

Find the value of x .. assume that segments that appear to be tangent are tangent .
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

sqrt(277) =x

x is approximately 16.64331698

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle since 14 is tangent to the circle and 9 is a radius

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

a^2 +b^2 =c^2

9^2+14^2 =x^2

81+196 = x^2

277 = x^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(277) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(277) =x
