Tangent line i think please help me find x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alex3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x= 6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When a tangent line touches the circle, it forms a right angle triangle at that point

Apply the Pythagorean relationship in this case

Given that the height is = 20.2 cm = b

The hypotenuse is = c= x+14.7 cm

General formulae is;

a² +b² =c²

x² + 20.2² =( x+ 14.7)²

x² + 408.04= x² +14.7x+14.7x+216.09

x² + 408.04= x² + 29.4 x +216.09.........................collect like terms

x²-x² + 408.04-216.09= 29.4x

191.95= 29.4x-------------------------------divide by 29.4 t0 get x

191.95/29.4 =x

x=6.5 cm

Hi I hope you are all okay could someone help me with this math question thankyou !!!
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

x = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the mathematical expression and data;

y = 1/√x

y = 7 and x = 64

First of all, we would find the constant of proportionality, k;

y = k/√x

7 = k/√64

7 = k/8

k = 7 * 8

k = 56

Next, to find the value of x, when y = 8

y = k/√x

Substituting the values, we have;

8 = 56/√x

Cross-multiplying, we have;

8 * √x = 56

√x = 56/8

√x = 7

Taking the square of both sides, we have;

(√x)² = 7²

x = 49
