<u>Given</u>:

The given circle with center at C. The lines AB and AD are tangents to the circle C.

The length of AB is (3x + 10)

The length of AD is (7x - 6)

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

Since, we know the property of tangent that, "if two tangents from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent".

We shall determine the value of x using the above property.

Thus, we have;

AB = AD

Substituting the values, we get;

3x+10=7x-6

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 7x, we get;

-4x+10=-6

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 10, we get;

-4x=-16

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4, we get;

x=4

Thus, the value of x is 4.

Pepper Jackie has 7.5 bags of mulch to cover 12 yds squared 2 of edible flower beds. If she wants to distribute the mulch evenly
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

\frac{5}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Number of bags of mulch = 7.5 bags

Number of square yards = 12

So by considering above information, we could find the number of bags for each square yard is

= \frac{Number\ of\ bags\ of\ mulch }{Number\ of\ square\ yards }

= \frac{7.5}{12}

= 0.625

The 0.625 is equal to \frac{5}{8} bag

Therefore, she need to use \frac{5}{8} bag for each square yard

Basically we use the fraction so that each square yard for use of bag could be find out

1. Now consider equations of the form , where a, b, and c are all positive integers and . (a) Create an equation of this form th
tino4ka555 [31]

a) To create an equation

X+X =7

so what's X over here is

7² = x²

X=3.5

b) Real numbers are mixture of irrational and rational numbers so √5 and √6 are irrational where as 5 and 6 are not but they two are equal to each other.

Explaining the equation:

√5 +√6 = √11

5 +6 = 11

√11 =11

√= 11 ÷ 11

√= 1

So if root is 1 then -1 is -√

this is the answer propably
