Answer: x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there! This geometry problem can easily be solved using something known as power theorems of a circle.
There are 3 power theorems. Chord chord theorem, tangent secant theorem and secant secant theorem.
Since your diagram contains 2 intersecting cords of a circle, we're gonna have to use the chord chord theorem
Say chord AB of a circle intersects with chord CD of the same circle at O. Then the chord chord theorem states that AO×OB = CO×CD.
So in your diagram, according to the chord chord theorem,
6×1 = 2×x
2x = 6
2x/2 = 6/2 ( divide both sides by 2 to single out x in the LHS)
Then we have x = 3!!!
YAYYY we derived our answer!!!

3. Leah
Step-by-step explanation:
1. In order to get the first answer you must multiply 48 by 56 and then multiply that by the cost per feet to get your answer.
2. In order to get the answer to this question you need to find the amount of necklaces both girls created and then multiply that number by the number of beads on those necklaces.
3. In order to find the answer to this question you need to calculate how much each the girls made then compare.
