Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Chords within a circle are proportional. Proportional means that they form equal ratios. To solve for y, set up a proportion.

The ratios we will create will be $\frac{long}{short} =\frac{long}{short}$ where each long and short form an angle.

So write:

$\frac{12}{8} =\frac{y}{4}$

To solve, cross multiply numerator with denominator.

12(4) = 8(y)

48=8y

6=y

What is equivalent to the polynomial (4x+3)(3x-8)

expeople1 [14]

The equivalent polynomial is 12x^2 -23x - 24.

You can get this by multiplying the two parenthesis by each other.

First start by multiplying the two front numbers:
4x * 3x = 12x^2

Then multiply the outermost numbers:
4x * -8 = -32x

Then multiply the innermost numbers:
3x * 3 = 9x

Then multiply the last numbers:
3* -8 = -24

Now combine all of them to get the above polynomial.
