How do I solve this? Show work please
1 answer:
Answer:
x=5 so x+1 = 6 and x+3 = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
It's all about proportions. These are similar triangles, so corresponding sides are proportional. Basically you want to solve an equation
Let me know if you cannot see how EG corresponds to GH or how EF corresponds to IH.
Anyway, from here we just solve. Again, let me know if you have any questions.
4(x + 1) = 3(x + 3)
4x + 4 = 3x + 9
x = 5
And you can check
[tex]\frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex

The equation of a circle in standard form is
where (h, k) is the center of the circle, and r is the radius if the circle.
We need to find the radius and center of the circle.
We are given a diameter, so to find the center, we need the midpoint of the diameter.
M = ((-6 + 6)/2, (6 + (-2))/2) = (0, 2)
The center is (0, 2).
To find the radius, we find the length of the given diameter and divided by 2.
