Answer:

The number is 57.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number

2x -25.6 = 90

Add 25.6 to each side

2x-25.6 +25.6 = 90+25.6

2x=115.6

Divide by 2

2x/2 =115.6/2

x =57.8

Find the center-radius form of the equation of the circle described. Then graph the circle. Center (0,0), radius 8

Pani-rosa [81]

If the center is (0, 0), then there is no side to side or up or down motion. The center is at the origin. The standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2. Your h and your k are both 0's, so just fill in and square the radius:
x^2 + y^2 = 64

In the figure above, PQRS is a circle. If PQT and SRT<br>are straight lines, find the value of x.

Elena L [17]

Given:

PQRS is a circle, PQT and SRT are straight lines.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Since PQRS is a circle, PQT and SRT are straight lines, therefore, PQRS isa cyclic quadrilateral.

We know that, sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degrees.

$m\angle SPQ+m\angle QRS=180^\circ$

$81^\circ+m\angle QRS=180^\circ$

$m\angle QRS=180^\circ-81^\circ$

$m\angle QRS=99^\circ$

Now, SRT is a straight line.

$m\angle QRT+m\angle QRS=180^\circ$ (Linear pair)

$m\angle QRT+99^\circ=180^\circ$

$m\angle QRT=180^\circ-99^\circ$

$m\angle QRT=81^\circ$ ...(i)

According to the Exterior angle theorem, in a triangle the measure of an exterior angle is equal the sum of the opposite interior angles.

Using exterior angle theorem in triangle QRT, we get

$m\angle PQR=m\angle QRT+m\angle QTR$

$x=81^\circ+22^\circ$

$x=103^\circ$

Therefore, the value of x is 103 degrees.

The walking distance that is saved by cutting across the lot is

dezoksy [38]

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have x^2+(x+2)^2=51^2, and
x^2+ x^2+4x+4=2x^2+4x+4=51^2. After that, we subtract 51^2 from both sides to get 2x^2+4x-2597. Using the quadratic formula (x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a in ax^2+bx+c), we get around 35 for x. We did + instead of minus after b due to that it can't be negative! x+2=37, so you save 35+37-51=around 21 feet
