Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we can use the trigonometric function in a right triangle
cos x = adjacent side to the angle /hypothenuse
cos 36°= x/10 ; multiply both sides by 10
10 * cos 36° = x ; make sure your calculator mode is in degrees
8.1 = x
We know that
If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment. (Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem)
so
ST²=RT*QT
RT=7 in
QT=23+7-----> 30 in
ST²=7*30-----> 210
ST=√210-----> 14.49 in
the answer is
RT=14.49 in
(2/5)+(3/(5x))=(x+5)/10
nasty fractions, we hates it forever
so
get rid of all those nasty fractions
multiply both sides by 10x
4x+6=x(x+5)
distribute
4x+6=x^2+5x
minus (4x+6) from both sides
0=x^2+x-6
factor
0=(x-2)(x+3)
set each to zero
0=x-2
2=x
0=x+3
-3=x
x=-3 and 2
