Answer:

x = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

Clockwise from top, call the three tangent points A, B, and C. Central angle AXC is the supplement of the marked external angle, so is 140°. Arc AB is bisected by the upper ray of angle x; and arc BC is bisected by the lower ray of angle x. That is to say x is half the measure of arc AC, so is 70°.

Attached is the output of a geometry program. The angle at lower left is 40° as in the given figure. The central angle α (70°) remains the same as tangent point C is moved around, which is to say that the measure of the angle α does not depend on the dimensions of the triangle containing α. It just depends on the fact that the triangle is tangent to the circle.

Hello!!

$\rule{300}{5}$

$-32$

$\huge\red{{\underline{\overline{\textbf{MY\:EXPLANATION~!}}}}}$

Apply rule: $(-a) = -a$

$(-8\sqrt{2}) = - 8\sqrt{2}$

$= -8\sqrt{2}~\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{32}$

$\sqrt{2}~\sqrt{32} =\sqrt{64}$

$= -8\sqrt{64}~\frac{1}2}$

$\sqrt{64} = 8$

$= -8$ · $8$ · $\frac{1}{2}$

Multiply the numbers: $-~8$ · $8= -64$

$=-64$ · $\frac{1}{2} = -32$

$= -32$

Hope It Helps. . .

In a football or soccer game, you have 22 players, from both teams, in the field. what is the probability of having at least any

Tamiku [17]

We can solve this problem using complementary events. Two events are said to be complementary if one negates the other, i.e. E and F are complementary if

$E \cap F = \emptyset,\quad E \cup F = \Omega$

where $\Omega$ is the whole sample space.

This implies that

$P(E) + P(F) = P(\Omega)=1 \implies P(E) = 1-P(F)$

So, let's compute the probability that all 22 footballer were born on different days.

The first footballer can be born on any day, since we have no restrictions so far. Since we're using numbers from 1 to 365 to represent days, let's say that the first footballer was born on the day $d_1$ .

The second footballer can be born on any other day, so he has 364 possible birthdays:

$d_2 \in \{1,2,3,\ldots 365\} \setminus \{d_1\}$

the probability for the first two footballers to be born on two different days is thus

$1 \cdot \dfrac{364}{365} = \dfrac{364}{365}$

Similarly, the third footballer can be born on any day, except $d_1$ and $d_2$ :

$d_3 \in \{1,2,3,\ldots 365\} \setminus \{d_1,d_2\}$

so, the probability for the first three footballers to be born on three different days is

$1 \cdot \dfrac{364}{365} \cdot \dfrac{363}{365}$

And so on. With each new footballer we include, we have less and less options out of the 365 days, since more and more days will be already occupied by another footballer, and we can't have two players born on the same day.

The probability of all 22 footballers being born on 22 different days is thus

$\dfrac{364\cdot 363 \cdot \ldots \cdot (365-21)}{365^{21}}$

So, the probability that at least two footballers are born on the same day is

$1-\dfrac{364\cdot 363 \cdot \ldots \cdot (365-21)}{365^{21}}$

since the two events are complementary.
