<u>Given</u>:
Given that the triangles ABD and CAD are similar.
The length of AB is 12.
The length of BD is x.
The length of AC is 27.
We need to determine the value of x.
<u>Value of x:</u>
Let us use the leg rule to determine the value of x.
Thus, we have;
Substituting the values, we get;
Cross multiplying, we get;
Dividing both sides by 27, we have;
Thus, the value of x is 
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x+18) - (3x+12)
5x+18=3x+12
5x-3x=2x
18-12=6
2x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle can be the expanded form of
\large \text{$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$}(x−a)
2
+(y−b)
2
=r
2
where rr is the radius of the circle, (a,\ b)(a, b) is the center of the circle, and (x,\ y)(x, y) is a point on the circle.
Here, the equation of the circle is,
\begin{gathered}\begin{aligned}&x^2+y^2+10x-4y-20&=&\ \ 0\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &x^2+y^2+10x-4y+25+4-49&=&\ \ 0\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &x^2+y^2+10x-4y+25+4&=&\ \ 49\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &x^2+10x+25+y^2-4y+4&=&\ \ 49\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &(x+5)^2+(y-2)^2&=&\ \ 7^2\end{aligned}\end{gathered}

From this, we get two things:
\begin{gathered}\begin{aligned}1.&\ \ \textsf{Center of the circle is $(-5,\ 2)$.}\\ \\ 2.&\ \ \textsf{Radius of the circle is $\bold{7}$ units. }\end{aligned}\end{gathered}

2.
Center of the circle is (−5, 2).
Radius of the circle is 7 units.
Hence the radius is 7 units.
The two cities are actually 427.5 miles apart.
