Mathematics

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.

James deposited $575 into a bank account that earned 5.5% simple interest each year. If no money was deposited into or withdrawn
Basile [38]
The answer is $654.06.
5.5% of $575 is $31.63.  575 x 0.055 = 31.63
This means that in one year he earns $31.63. In two years it will be $63.25 (31.63 x 2 = 63.25)
Then in half a year it will be $15.81 (31.63/2 = 15.81)
Finally add 15.81 and 63.25 to get $79.06 which you then add to the initial $575 to get the total amount earned in 2 1/2 years which is $654.06.
