Find the measure of AB

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

AB = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 secants intersect a circle from an external point, then

CB × CA = CD × CE, that is

5(5 - 4 + x) = 6(6 + 4) ← simplify left side

5(1 + x) = 6 × 10 ← distribute left side

5 + 5x = 60 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

5x = 55 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 11

Hence

AB = - 4 + x = - 4 + 11 = 7

Answer:

$- 6 < x < 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

first things first:

$- 7 < 2x + 5 \\ - 7 - 5 < 2x + 5 - 5 \\ - 12 < 2x \\ - 6 < x$

now:

$2x + 5 < 7 \\ 2x + 5 - 5 < 7 - 5 \\ 2x < 2 \\ x < 1$

now the intersection is:

$- 6 < x < 1$

Answer: Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry there are three undefined terms that we use to define other terms:

Point → In geometry a point has a location but no dimension.
Plane → A plane extends is a 2-dimensional surface that extends infinitely on both sides.
Line → A line is a one-dimensional undefined figure that extends infinitely in both the directions. It has length but has no width.

Hence, the correct option is "Undefined".
