Answer:

AB = 21 and DE = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 intersecting chords inside the circle then

The products of the measures of the parts of one chord is equal to the products of the measures of the parts of the other chord, that is

x(x + 13) = (x + 10)(x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

x² + 13x = x² + 11x + 10 ← subtract x² + 11x from both sides

2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 5

Hence

AB = x + 10 + x + 1 = 2x + 11 = (2 × 5) + 11 = 10 + 11 = 21

DE = x + x + 13 = 2x + 13 = (2 × 5) + 13 = 10 + 13 = 23

Again, please help. i dont know any of this

Levart [38]

$\textrm {Cylinder volume :}$

$\mathrm {Volume = \pi r^{2}{h}}$

$\mathrm {Volume = 3.14 \times (\frac{4}{2})^{2} \times 3}$

$\mathrm {Volume = 3.14 \times 12}$

$\mathrm {Volume = 37.68cm^{3}}$

$\textrm {Rectangular prism volume :}$

$\mathrm {Volume = length \times width \times height}$

$\mathrm {Volume = 6 \times 5 \times 7}$

$\mathrm {Volume = 30 \times 7}$

$\mathrm {Volume = 210cm^{3}}$

$\textrm {Total volume of composite figure :}$

$\textrm {Volume of cylinder + volume of rectangular prism}$

$\mathrm {37.68 + 210}$

$\mathrm {247.68cm^{3}}$

Need to double check my work to see if I’m correct lol is 5/12 bigger than 3/8?

N76 [4]

$\frac{5}{12}$ = 0.41667

$\frac{3}{8}$ = 0.375

You are correct! 0.41667>0.375

Rita will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has no initial fee but costs $0.90 per mil

Artemon [7]

Let M = #miles driven

Plan 1: .50M + 70 = total cost

Plan 2 .70M = total cost

To know how far she would drive to have an equal cost for either plan just set the equations equal to each other

.70M = .50M + 70

subtract .50M from both sides

.20M = 70

M = 70/.20 = 350 miles

Check the answser:

Plan 1: .50(350) + 70 = 175 + 70 = $245

Plan 2: .7(350) = $245

they are equal so our answer checks as correct

Find the value of x is this problem.

Notice the picture below

recall the "inscribed angle theorem"

now... notice your picture, "x" is just the intercepted arc
