Please Help me Find NM using Secant

Mathematics
1 answer:
kondaur [170]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

NM = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a property of secants and tangents to a circle where:

The square of the tangent length is equal the length of the external segment of the secant times the whole secant length.

Therefore, in our question, we have that:

NM^2 = ML * MK

The values of NM, ML and MK are:

NM = x + 3

ML = x - 3

MK = ML + LK = x - 3 + 16 = x + 13

So we have:

(x+3)^2 = (x - 3)(x + 13)

x^2 + 6x + 9 = x^2 + 10x - 39

6x + 9 = 10x - 39

4x = 48

x = 12

So the length of NM is:

NM = x + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15

1.For this problem, 200 meters of fencing will all be used to place fence on all four sides of the rectangle. Your task is to wr
solong [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

the perimeter of the fencing (rectangle)  = 200

Let recall that the area equation of a rectangle = L × w

The perimeter now = 2(L + w)

The perimeter = 2L + 2w

∴

200 = 2L +2w

Dividing both sides by 2

100 = L + w

Making Length L the subject; we have:

- L = -100 + w

L = 100 - w

Thus;

A(w) = (100 - w) w

and the domain of the function is (0,100)

Marguerite is building a box. She needs 78 pieces of wood that are 29 cm long. The wood comes in boards that are 6 meters long.
ser-zykov [4K]
First, we are going to multiply the pieces of wood by the length of each piece to find the total length she will need:
78*29cm=2262cm

Next, we are going to convert 2262 centimeters to meters. To do that we are going to take advantage of the fact that 1 m=100cm:
2262cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =22.62m

Now, we just need to divide the total length of wood Marguerite needs by the length of each board of wood:
\frac{22.62m}{6m} =3.77
Since she will need full boards of wood, we must round 3.77 to its nearest integer 4.

We can conclude that <span>Marguerite will need 4 boards of wood.</span>

During a special sale, all video games cost $26 and movies cost $14. Derrick plans to spend some or all of his $220 in birthday
Mrac [35]
The equation would be:
26v + 14m \leqslant 220
V represents video game
M represents movies
Derrick plans to spend some or all which means he can use less than that amount or the whole amount

Hope this helps.

Dmitri needs 6 liters of a 16% solution of sulfuric acid for a research project in molecular biology. He has two supplies of sul
mylen [45]

Answer:

4 litres of 12% solution

2 litre of 24% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 12% solution = l

Let the 24% solution = h

Dimitri needs a total of 6 litres of both :

l + h = 6 - - - - - - - - (1)

He needs a mixture of both volumes of both to give a 16% volume

12%l + 24%h = 16% * 6

0.12l + 0.24h = 0.96 ----(2)

From (1)

l + h = 6;

l = 6 - h

Substitute l =6-h into (2)

0.12(6 - h) + 0.24h = 0.96

0.72 - 0.12h + 0.24h = 0.96

0.72 + 0.12h = 0.96

0.12h = 0.96 - 0.72

0.12h = 0.24

h = 0.24 / 0.12

h = 2

From ;

l = 6 - h

l = 6 - 2

l = 4
