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

Answer:

The game is not fair

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the sample space.  It is the sum of the two spins

1+1 1+2 1+3  1+4

2+1 2+2  2+3  2+4

3+1 3+2 3+3 3+4

4+1  4+2  4+3  4+4

Adding

2,3,4,5

3,4,5,6

4,5,6,7

5,6,7,8

P(2) = 1/16

p(3) = 2/16

p(4) = 3/16

p(5) = 4/16

p(6) = 3/16

p(7) = 2/16

p(8) = 1/16

Player A gets a point if the sum is 6 or more

P (6,7,8) = P (6) + P(7) + P(8)  since they are independent event

              =( 3+2+1) /16 = 6/16 = 3/8

Player P gets a point if the sum is less than 6

P (2,3,4,5) =P (2) + P(3) + P(4 + P(5)

                 (1+2+3+4)/16 = 10/16= 5/8

Player B has a better chance of winning, so the game is not fair
