Answer:

B.False.

Step-by-step explanation:

A secant is a line or segment which passes through two points or more points and cut the curve at atleast two points.

We are talking about of secant of circle

Secant: A secant is a line that passe through two points of circle and it intersect the circle at two points.

Therefore,given definition of secant is

A secant is a line or segment that passes through a point on the circle and the cente rof the circle.

By definition of secant , we can say the given define in question is false.

Because that segment which passes through a point on circle and center of the circle is radius not secant.

Solve the equation y-x=17 y=4x+2

gogolik [260]

Y-x =17
y = -x + 17

substitute this into the second equation

y = 4x + 2
-x + 17 = 4x + 2
0= 5x -15
15/5 = 5x/5
3 = x

2w^2-11w=-12 a w=3/2 or 4 b w=1 or 12 c w=1 or 7 d w = 2.5 or 6

dlinn [17]

Hey mate !!
Here's your answer !!

2w^2 - 11w = -12
2w^2 -11w + 12 = 0
2w^2 - 8w - 3w + 12 = 0

2w ( w - 4) -3 ( w - 4) = 0
(2w - 3) ( w - 4) = 0

Hence

2w - 3 = 0
2w = 3
w = 3/2

w - 4 = 0
w = 4

Hence value of w are 4 and 3/2

Hope this helps!!
Cheers!!

Daniel wants to create a banner for his construction business to hang at the house he just built. Daniel will use a single sign

Nina [5.8K]

The solution for this problem is just simple. It tells you to find the area in square feet. Thus, convert the units to feet first. The conversion you need to know are: 12 in = 1 ft and 3 ft = 1 yard.

Width = 42 in * 1 ft/12 in = 3.5 ft
Length = 10 yards * 3 ft/1 yard = 30 ft

Area = Length*Width = 30*3.5
Area = 105 ft²
