See the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that
in the triangle ABC
applying the Pythagorean theorem
AC²=AB²+BC²
AC=8 cm
AB=apothem
BC=9.4/2-----> 4.7 cm

AB²=AC²-BC²-----> 8²-4.7²-----> 64-22.09------> AB²=41.91
AB=√41.91-------> 6.47 cm---------> 6.5 cm
apothem=6.5 cm

the answer is
6.5 cm

The measure of ∠1 = 188 172 94

yanalaym [24]

Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There is a cyclic quadrilateral.

As we know that "Sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is supplementary.":

so, it becomes,

$86^\circ+\angle 1=180^\circ\\\\\angle 1=180^\circ-86^\circ\\\\\angle 1=94^\circ$

Hence, the measure of ∠1 = 94°

Therefore, Third option is correct.

What is the length of the tangent line in the picture?

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent line has length "x + 8"

The secant line has length "x + 6 + 5", where

5 is the inner part

x + 6 is the outer part

Now,

the secant-tangent theorem tells us that square of the tangent line is equal to the outer segment of secant line multiplied by length of whole secant line.

So, we can say:

$(x+8)^2 = (x+6)(x+6+5)$
