The value of x is 15.56.

Solution:

Tangent and Secant theorem:

If one secant and one tangent are drawn to a circle from one exterior point, then the square of the length of the tangent is equal to the product of the external secant segment and the total length of the secant.

BE = 22 BD = x, CD = x

BC = x + x = 2x

By the tangent and secant theorem,

BE^2=BD \cdot BC

22^2=x \cdot 2x

484= 2x^2

Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation, we get

242=x^2

Take square root on both side of the equation.

x = 15.56

Hence the value of x is 15.56.

The area of a right triangle is 270 m². The height of the right triangle is 15 m.
dimaraw [331]
The area of a triangle is calculated by the expression given as:

Area = bh/2

where b is the base and h is the height.

We calculate as follows:

270 = b (15) / 2
b = 36

70% : $308 = 100% : x
70x = 308x100
70x = 30800
X = $440

Original =$440
