Answer:
<u>Secant</u>: a straight line that intersects a circle at two points.
<u>Intersecting Secants Theorem</u>
If two secant segments are drawn to the circle from one exterior point, the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external part is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external part.
From inspection of the given diagram:
- M = Exterior point
- MK = secant segment and ML is its external part
- MS = secant segment and MN is its external part
Therefore:
⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS
Given:
- MK = (x + 15) + 6 = x + 21
- ML = 6
- MS = 7 + 11 = 18
- MN = 7
Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for x:
⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS
⇒ 6(x + 21) = 7 · 18
⇒ 6x + 126 = 126
⇒ 6x = 0
⇒ x = 0
Substituting the found value of x into the expression for KL:
⇒ KL = x + 15
⇒ KL = 0 + 15
⇒ KL = 15
Answer:
$27
Step-by-step explanation:
18 times $1.50 = 27 dollars a year
Answer: There would be 12,000 bacteria 8 hours after the initial infection.
Step-by-step explanation: You start with 25 cells and if they divide every 15 minutes, 25 multiplied by 15 gets you 375 cells every quarter of an hour. Then if you multiply that by the 32 quarter hours, you get 12,000 cells. To check that you can also multiply 25 by 15, still 375, then 375 by 4 for each quarter of the hour, then that gets you 1,500 cells every hour. If you multiply that by 8 for the 8 hours they have time to divide, you still get 12,000 cells.
