Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of distances from the intersection of secants to the near and far intersections with the circle are the same. For a tangent, the near and far points of intersection with the circle are the same. This relation tells us ...
(2√3)(2√3) = x(x +4)
12 = x² +4x
16 = x² +4x +4 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient to complete the square
4² = (x +2)² . . . . . . . . write as squares
4 = x +2 . . . . . . . . . . positive square root
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

<em>Alternate solution</em>
If you believe x to be an integer, you can look for factors of 12 that differ by 4.
12 = 1×12 = 2×6 = 3×4
The factors 2 and 6 differ by 4, so x=2 and x+4=6.
Okay, so FIRST you would subtract 215 - 155, which is 60, and THEN
divide it by 215, so 60 divided by 215 = 0.27, and rounded that is 0.28,
then you move the decimal two places to the right to make it a
percentage so your answer would be A., 28%

Answer:
to find the distance between two points, in order to find the length of the triangle we need first to find the instance between the two points
distance between (2,9) and (2,4) .....a =5
distance between (2,4) and (6,4) .....b = 4
when we find the length of the side of the triangle , then we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to find hyp. c
a²+b²=c²
Answer:
Width: 7 Length: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Width: x
length: 2x-4
Area: 70 meters squared
(2x-4)x=70
2x^2-4x=70
2x^2-4x-70=0
2(x^2-2x-35)=0
(x-7)(x+5)=0
x cannot be negative so x=7
2/3-1/3= 1/3
So Shane grew 1/3 of an inch more hair than his brother.
