Answer:

  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The integers 5 and 5 sum to 10 and have the largest possible product.

___

The two numbers will be x and (10-x). Their product is x(10-x), which describes a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=10. The maximum (vertex) of that parabola is halfway between the zeros, at x=5. Both integers have the same value: 5. Their product is 25.

If there is a requirement the integers be distinct, then 6 and 4 are the integers of choice. Their product is 24.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

x = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Outside Angles Theorem, the angle formed by the two tangents in the diagram above is equal to half of the difference of the measures of two arcs  that are intercepted.

Therefore:

x = \frac{1}{2}(360 - 120) - 120)

x = \frac{1}{2}(240 - 120)

x = \frac{1}{2}(120)

x = 60°
