Answer:

16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Applying  the Intersecting Chords Theorem

we have that

AH*HC=DH*HB

substitute the given values

(20-x)(x)=(x+4)(12-x)

20x-x^2=12x-x^2+48-4x

Simplify

20x=8x+48

20x-8x=48

12x=48

x=4

Find out the length of segment DB

DB=DH+HB

DB=(x+4)+(12-x)=16\ units

<em>Note</em> In this problem it was not necessary to determine the value of x to calculate the DB segment.

Anyway, the calculation was done for didactic purposes.

The length of line segment DB is 16 units

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

The Intersecting Chords Theorem or chord theorem states that when two chords are intersecting within a circle, the product of their respective segments is equal. This also a statement in elementary geometry that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords in a circle. It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.

AC and DB are chords that intersect at point H as shown in the figure below.

The intersection definition is, if the intersection happened of two sets A and B it is denoted by A ∩ B. It is the set  that contains all elements of A that also belong to B, and nothing else. An intersection is a single point where two lines meet or cross each other.

AH*HC=DH*HB\\ (20-x)*(x)=(x+4)*(12-x)\\ 20x-x^{2} =12x-x^{2} +48-4x\\ 20x-12x+4x=48\\ 12x=48\\ x=4

Then we should find the length of the segment DB . The line segment is a part of a line with two distinct end points.

DB=(x+4)+(12-x)\\ DB=(4+4)+(12-4)\\ DB=8+8\\ DB=16\ units

Therefore  the length of line segment DB is equal to  16 units

Answer:

Qu. 8 = A (50) = 25w  as 125w x 125l = Area ; this because perimeter 500ft would always be a 3:5 ratio to the larger area. Therefore perimeter is 125+125 +125 +125 and = 500ft. However we can prove if 125 is any length or width then A(50)= 1/5 = 25   Qu 9)= I think last 2 are a function. Qu 10) Answer B is correct.

Draw a net for each of the following shapes:
Margarita [4]
A. You would start off by a rectangle in the middle, then you would place to squares on the bottom and top if the rectangle. After you've done that, you place two rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the original rectangle. Finally you add a rectangle (Same size) to either ends of the secondary rectangles. It should look like this.


B. You would start off with a rectangle in the middle, then you would add 2 equilateral triangles to the top and bottom of the rectangle. After that, you Simply put 2 rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the rectangle. It should look something like this.

C. To make a pyramid, it's actually quite simple. You would start off with a square in the middle, and then place equilateral triangles on ALL sides of the square. It should look something like this.

I hope this helped ^^

Rectangle STUV has square PQRS removed, leaving an area of 92 m^2. Side PT is 4 m in length and side RV is 8m in length
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

117 m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First think of the square that was removed.  All 4 sides are equal but you don't know the length so lets gives them the variable X.

So to find the area of the rectangle, insert those variables into the area equation for a rectangle.

(RV + (X) ) (PT +(X)) = rectangle area

Now you are given what the area is if you remove the square.  So subtract the the square's area from the equation above and set it equal to the size they told you.

(RV + (X)) (PT + (X))  - [(X)(X)] = 92m^{2}

      rectangle          -  square  =  remaining area

Now plug in the numbers you know and solve for X.

(8 + X) (4 + X) - ((X)(X)) = 92    

Use FOIL to multiply the first part of the equation (first, outer, inner, last)

32 + 8x + 4x + x^{2} -  x^{2}  =  92

32 + 12x = 92

12x = 60

x = 5

So now you know the size of the square.  Each side is 5m.  So add 5m onto the top of the rectangle and onto the side.  The top is 13m and the side is 9m.  The area of the rectangle is the length times the height to 13 x 9 which is 117 m^{2}
