Answer:
9.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Secant-Tangent theorem tells us that the product of the secant segment with its external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment.
From the diagram, we can say (let the unknown part of secant line, the part left of the segment length 5, be y):
(15+y)(10) = 17^2
Solving for y we get:

Now we can use the chord theorem to solve for x. Chord theorem tells us that when 2 intersecting chords create 4 segments, the product of the individual chord segments are equal. Thus we can say:
5 * 13.9 = 7 * x
Now solving, we get:

Thus x = 9.93
last answer choice is right.
Answer:
D. about 8.5 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
To go from Aesha to Josh, you go 6 units right and 6 units up.
Each unit is a mile, so you go 6 miles right and 6 miles up.
Think of each 6 mile distance as a leg of a right triangle, and the direct distance from one place to the other as the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The 6-mile legs are a and b. c is the hypotenuse.
(6 mi)^2 + (6 mi)^2 = c^2
c^2 = 36 mi^2 + 36 mi^2
c^2 = 72 mi^2
c = sqrt(72) mi
c = sqrt(36 * 2) mi
c = 6sqrt(2) mi
c = 6(1.4142) mi
c = 8.5 mi
