52
Step-by-step explanation:
Used hint.
Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
(whole secant) * (external part) = (tangent)^2
(x+48)* 48 = 60^2
(x+48)* 48 = 3600
Divide each side by 48
x+48 =75
Subtract 48 from each side
x = 75-48
x=27
Solutions
To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c².
Given
One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg has a length of 10x yards.
First leg (24 yards) would be α
Second leg would be β
Hypotenuse (74 yards) would be c
Now we have points α β c.
a² (24) + β² ( x ) = c² (74)
Calculations
c² = α² + β²
74² = 24²+ β²
<span>5476 = 576 + </span>β²
5476 - 576 = β²
<span> </span>
<span>4900 = </span>β²
→√4900
<span> </span>
β<span> = 70 yards
</span>
<span>70 = 10x
</span>
<span>x = 70</span>÷<span>10 = 7 yards
</span>
The second leg = 7 yards
