Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
AC = length of flagpole = 12 ft
AB = length of shadow = 14 ft
BC = length from the top of the flagpole to the end of the shadow = x ft
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x,
x² = AC² + BC²
= 12² + 14²
= 144 + 196
= 340
x = √340
x = 18.4 ft
Answer:
They have the same x value.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8.3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of lengths to the near and far point of intersection with the circle is the same in all cases:
(7 cm)(7 cm) = (y)(11 cm +y) = (4 cm)(4 cm +x)
Since we're only interested in x, we can divide by 4 and subtract 4:
49 cm² = (4 cm)(4 cm +x)
(49/4) cm = 4 cm +x . . . . . . divide by 4 cm
8.25 cm = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4 cm
To the nearest tenth, x = 8.3 cm.
_____
For a tangent segment, the two points of intersection with the circle are the same point, so the product of lengths is the square of the length.
___
The angles depend on the size of the circle, which is not given.
1 and 146
2 and 73
and that's about it
D. The x and y values are both negative
