OQ = 8 + 9 = 17
x^2 = 17^2 - 8^2
x^2 = 289 - 64
x^2 = 225
x = 15

Answer:

x  = 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Point O is the center of the circle.

To find : What is the value of x?

Solution : We have given that a circle of radius 8 cm .

The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.

By applying the Pythagorean theorem

OQ² = OP² + PQ²

Plugging the values  OQ = 9 +8 , OP = 8 , PQ = x

(17)² = (8)² + (x)².

289 =  64 + (x)².

On subtracting 64 from both sides

289 -64 =  (x)²

225 = (x)²

On taking square root both side  

x = 15

Therefore, x = 15 cm.

You put the highest exponent power first, then you go down until you reach a regular number (a number with a variable goes before a normal number)

On a map the key indicates that 1/4 inch = 1/2 mile. if two cities on themap are 4 1/2 inches apart what is the distance between
Ilya [14]
Let the actual distance be x mile.
1/4 inch = 1/2 mile
9/2 inch = x mile
(9/2)/(1/4)=x/(1/2)
            18=2x
              x=9

the actual distance is 9 mile.

charlie has 2 fair coins. he repeatedly tosses the pair of coins simultaneously (i.e., two tosses at a time), until he has seen
Serggg [28]

By using the trial method we get a total number of trials taken by Charlie to see both sides of both the coins is 4.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is the name of the area of mathematics that deals with the examination of random events. The ratio of favorable occurrences to the total number of events is used to calculate an event's probability.

P(E) = F(E)/T (E)P(E)

It stands for the probability that an event will occur.

F(E) = Amount of favorable occurrences

Total number of trials (T(E))

Given that Charlie has 2 fair coins.

If he tosses the pair of coins simultaneously, then the number of samples can be HH, HT, TH, TT.

So to see both sides of both the coins he should toss the coin four times.
