To get the value of DK we use proportionality:
AK/EK=BK/KD
thus plugging the values we get:
14/17=7/KD
getting the reciprocal of getting both sides we have:

17/14=KD/7
thus
KD=17/14×7
KD=8.5
thus

Answer:  the correct option is (B) 8.5.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that AK= 14, EK=17 and BK= 7 in the figure shown.

We are to find the length of DK.

From the figure, we note that

AD and BE are two chords of a circle intersecting at the point K.

We will be using the following theorem :

<u><em>Intersecting Chord Theorem :</em></u> When two chords intersect each other inside a circle, then the products of their segments are equal.

Applying the above theorem in the given circle, we get

AK\times DK=BK\times EK\\\\\\\Rightarrow DK=\dfrac{BK\times EK}{AK}\\\\\\\Rightarrow DK=\dfrac{7\times 17}{14}\\\\\\\Rightarrow DK=\dfrac{17}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow DK=8.5.

Thus, the length of DK is 8.5 units.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Find the value of x and y in the following figure where ABCD is a parallelogram<br><br>​
asambeis [7]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other into two equal segments. Therefore:

3x - 1 = 2(x + 1)

Solve for x

3x - 1 = 2x + 2

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 1 + 2

x = 3

Also:

5y + 1 = 6y - 1

Collect like terms

5y - 6y = -1 - 1

-y = -2

Divide both sides by -1

y = -2/-1

y = 2

Which equation represents a circle that contains the point (-5,-3) and has a center at (-2,1)
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The equation of circle is:

Solution:

The general form of equation is given as:

Where, "r" is radius of circle and (a, b) is center of circle

Given that center at (-2, 1)

a = -2 and b = 1

Substitute (a , b) = (-2, 1) and (x, y) = (-5, -3) in general equation

Substitute r = 5 and (a, b) = (-2, 1) in general equation

Thus the equation of circle is found

Which term of the AP 21, 18, 15 ...... is -81 ?​
amid [387]

Given AP is 21 ,18,15,...

First term = 21

Common difference = 18-21 = -3

Let an = -81

We know that

an = a+(n-1)d

⇛21+(n-1)(-3) = -81

⇛ 21-3n+3 = -81

⇛24-3n = -81

⇛ 24+81 = 3n

⇛ 105= 3n

⇛ n = 105/3

⇛ n = 35

35th term of the AP is -81.
