2.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
b = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
From an external point, the products of distances to the near circle intercept and the far circle intercept are the same. For a tangent, such as AC, point A is both the near and far intercept point, so that product is the square of the length of AC.
(AC)² = (CG)(CV)
b² = 12·27 = 324 . . . . substitute known values
b = √324 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
b = 18
Since both angle are congruent (equal/same), which means that both side is equal to 40 degrees, we will put the equation like this:
5x - 5 = 40
Now we’ll solve for x:
5x - 5 = 40
+ 5 + 5 (Add 5 to both sides)
5x = 45
—- —— (Five both side by 5)
5 5
x = 9
Now we left with x, so x is equal to 9.
