Answer:

8.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of lengths to the near and far point of intersection with the circle is the same in all cases:

(7 cm)(7 cm) = (y)(11 cm +y) = (4 cm)(4 cm +x)

Since we're only interested in x, we can divide by 4 and subtract 4:

49 cm² = (4 cm)(4 cm +x)

(49/4) cm = 4 cm +x . . . . . . divide by 4 cm

8.25 cm = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4 cm

To the nearest tenth, x = 8.3 cm.

_____

For a tangent segment, the two points of intersection with the circle are the same point, so the product of lengths is the square of the length.

___

The angles depend on the size of the circle, which is not given.

Problem One
Sin(90 + q) = sin(90)*cos(q) + sin(q)*cos(90)
sin(90 + q) = 1 * cos(q) + sin(q)*0
sin(90 + q) = cos(q)

You can elimate anything beginning with Cos
You can also eliminate the sin function with a minus between it.

Problem 2
Sin(x) = 1/csc(x) That makes C and D incorrect.
Correct answer has to be A. Since this is a multiple choice question you can't qualify the answer, but there are some points that exhibit questionable behavior, like 2 $\pi$ *f*t = 0 for example. The function becomes undefined.
