Answer:
<h2>x = 6.5 cm</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment 20.2 cm is the tangent. Therefore x and 20.2cm are perpendicular.
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
We have
Substitute:
<em>use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²</em>
<em>subtract x² from both sides</em>
<em>subtract 216.09 from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 29.4</em>
Answer:
y = 8 + 4x / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53 (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a - 3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
5b = 80
b = 80/5
b = 16
Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37
The numbers are 16 and 37</span>
