The tangents are equal length, so
.. 8x = x^2
We presume their length is not zero, so we can divide by x to get
.. 8 = 2x
.. 4 = x

Then the length of each tangent is 8*4 = 32 units.

6. The perimeter of a parallelogram is 100 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than its length. Find the len

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

x = 23, and y = 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say,

x = width

y = length

this means,

x(2) + y(2) = 100

It also says that the width is 4 meters less than the length.

if we put that into equation form it would look like this,

y - 4 = x

using these 2 equations, we can use the subustusion method to find the x.

x(2) + y(2) = 100

turns in to this :

step 1. (y - 4) (2) + y(2) = 100 - given

step 2. 2y -8 + 2y = 100 - distribute

step 3. 4y -8 = 100 - Combine like terms

step 4. 4y = 108 - Get rid of the 8

step 5 4y/4 = 108 /4 - divide

step 6 . y = 27

So if y is 27, then

x(2) + 27(2) = 100

x(2) + 54 = 100

100 - 54 = 46, so x(2) is 46, but to get x, we need to divide 46 by 2, since x multiplied by 2 equals 46.

46 / 2 = 23 = x

so x = 23, and y = 27.

and the rule that y - 4 = x still applies, since 27 - 4 = 23.

I hope this wasn't confusing! It did take a long time tho.

1. The measure of angle GHI is 120° Angle GHI is cut in half with ray HK, if angle

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The value of x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the value of the angle x

Here the ray cuts the angle into half.

Since the total of the angle was 120, half of this would be 120/2 = 60

Now, it is this value of 60, that our new angle equals to

Mathematically;

3x + 48 = 60

3x = 60-48

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4
