Find X. BC is the tangent

Mathematics
2 answers:
pav-90 [236]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle formed by the tangent BC and the radius AB is right at B

Thus ΔABC is right with AC as the hypotenuse

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, hence

AC² = AB² + BC² ← substitute given values

(x + 6)² = x² + 12² ← expand squared parenthesis on left side

x² + 12x + 36 = x² + 144 ( subtract x² from both sides )

12x + 36 = 144 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

12x = 108 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 9

Check the picture below.

let's recall that the point of tangency  with the radius chord is always a right-angle.

Answer:

number one.  186in^{2}  number two.  36cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

FOR NUMBER ONE:

the area of a trapezoid formula is   \frac{a+b}{2} h where a and b are the bases and h is the height. so we have to add in the numbers into the formula

\frac{12+15}{2} * 6\\ = <em>81</em>

and the paralellogram formula is b×h.  where b is the base and h is height

15 × 7 = <em>105</em>

so the area of the figure is 81 + 105 is 186 in^2

FOR NUMBER TWO:

the area of the square formula is s^{2}.   where s is the side

4^2 = <em>16</em>

and for the paralellogram is b × h

4 × 5 = <em>20</em>

so the area of the figure is 16 +20 = 36 in^2

hope this helps! ;)

A company sells t-shirts for $6 each. They also charge a one-time processing fee of $3 per order. Jamie ordered t-shirts and pai
jenyasd209 [6]
$45-$3 
you would do this to take out the processing fee.
$42/ $6
this is because each shirt cost $6
the equation would be (45-3) / 6= 7]  
your answer would be 7 shirts
