<u>Question 1</u>
If we let
, then
.
Also, as
bisects
, this means
.
Thus, by the intersecting chords theorem,

However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning FE=9
<u>Question 2</u>
If we let CE=x, then because AB bisects CD, CE=ED=x.
We also know that since FB=17, the radius of the circle is 17. So, this means that the diameter is 34, and as AE=2, thus means EB=32.
By the intersecting chords theorem,

However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning CE=8
Answer: all i can say is this for an edu guess
2 6 and 4 would be 40 or 30
3 5 and 7 would be 110 or 120
8 would be 20 or 10
also this was the first answer
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (12, 20)
m =
=
→ C
Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.
_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
