Answer:

= 8.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

When a chord intersects with a tangent outside a circle then we use the relationship;

X ² = AO × BO, Where A and are the points of intersection of the chord an the circle, while O is the point of intersection between the chord and the tangent.

Therefore;

x² = 4 × 20 or 8 × 10

x² = 80

x = √80

= 8.944

≈ 8.9

Answer:

x equals 3.00cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras' Theorem.

a = (14x-45)

b = (16x+27)

c = (25x)

Plug in the variables above into Pythagoras' Theorem that is, a^2+b^2=c^2.

Solve the resulting quadratic equation and reject the negative answer as length is always positive.

Movies at the rental store are $3.75 each. Snacks and drinks are $1.89 each. Round each amount to the nearest dollar to estimate

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

$14.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First you round 3.75 to 4.00 because 7 is greater than 5 so it would turn the 3 to 4 than add the zeros it's 4.00. Second You multiply by three so 4.00 × 3 you will get 12.00. Than you round 1.89 to 2.00 because 8 is greater than 5 so it would turn to the 1 to the 2 than add the zeros it's 2.00. Finally you add them together and get $14.00
