What is the value of x? assume that the line is tangent to the circle

Mathematics

Answer:

70°

Step-by-step explanation:

Connect the center of the circle with endpoints of the chord. Let the center of the circle be point O and endpoints of the chord be points A (let point A lie on the tangent line too)and B.

From the figure, central angle AOB has the measure of 220°.

Consider triangle AOB. This triangle is isosceles triangle because OA and OB are both radii. In this triangle the measure of angle AOB is 360° - 220° = 140°.

Angles OAB and OBA are angles adjacent to the base AB, so they are congruent. The sum of the measures of all interior angles in triangle is always 180°, so

m∠OAB + m∠OBA + m∠AOB = 180°

m∠OAB = m∠OBA = 1/2 (180° - 140°)

m∠OAB = 20°

Since drawn line is tangent line, then OA is perpendicular to this tangent line and

x° = 90° - 20°

x° = 70°

3a-4b=12 what does a solve?
leonid [27]

Answer:

a = 4 + -1.333333333b

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3a + 4b = 12

Solving

3a + 4b = 12

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4b' to each side of the equation.

3a + 4b + -4b = 12 + -4b

Combine like terms: 4b + -4b = 0

3a + 0 = 12 + -4b

3a = 12 + -4b

Divide each side by '3'.

a = 4 + -1.333333333b

Simplifying

a = 4 + -1.333333333b

Please help <3
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

x =3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x + 4) = 2(5x+9) - 12

First step is to open the brackets by multiplying. It becomes

3×4x + 3×4 = 2×5x + 2×9 -12

12x + 12 = 10x + 18 - 12

Collecting like terms on the right hand side and left hand side of the equation, it becomes

12x -10x = 18 -12 -12

2x = -6

Negative sign on the right hand side of the equation overwhelms the positive sign on left hand side of the equation. It becomes

2x = -6

x = -6/2 = -3

Checking

3(4×-3 + 4) = 2(5×-3+9) - 12

-24 = -12-12= -24

So x = -3

Noah’s remote control car moved 12 feet in 6 seconds. Which graph has a slope that best represents Noah’s car’s average rate of
vaieri [72.5K]

We want to find a graph that represents Noah's average speed.

We define the average speed as the quotient between the distance moved and the time it takes to move that distance, then in this case we will have:

s = 12ft/6s = 2ft/s

Then we can define a linear equation:

y = (2ft/s)*x

As the distance that Noah travels in x seconds.

The graph of the given linear function can be seen below, and that is the graph with the slope that best represents Noah's average speed.
