Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use secant theorem.

AX × BX = EX × DX

AX = 7 + 2 = 9

9 × 2 = (3 + x) × 3

18 = 9 + 3x

18 - 9 = 3x

9 = 3x

x = 9/3 = 3

The length of ED is 3 units.

aalyn [17]

Volume of the cone is 100 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Volume of a cone = 1/3 πr²h. Find volume of the cone where r = 3 inches and h = 9 inches.

Volume = 1/3 × 3.14 × 3² × 9

= 84.78 in³ ≈ 100 in³ (rounding off to nearest hundredth)

Answer:

$\square\quad{y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+4}\\\\\square\quad{\dfrac{y-5}{x-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the same everywhere, so an equation can be written making use of that fact.

$\dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\dfrac{y-5}{x-2}=\dfrac{7-5}{6-2}=\dfrac{2}{4}\\\\\boxed{\dfrac{y-5}{x-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Cross-multiplying gives ...

2(y -5) = x -2

2y -10 = x -2 . . . eliminate parentheses

2y = x +8 . . . . . . . add 10; next, divide by 2

$\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+4}$

These equations match choices B and D.
