Answer:

The base is 10 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a right triangle is (b × h) ÷ 2 = a

Let's input the given values and find the value of b:

(b × 4) ÷ 2 = 20

4b ÷ 2 = 20

2b = 20

b = 10

Check:

(10 × 4) ÷ 2 = 20

40 ÷ 2 = 20

20 = 20

It works!

Solvę for x. Assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent.

Tom [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use secant-tangent product theorem.

1. Set up the equation

(x-3)(x-3+5) = (x-1)²

2. Solve

(x-3)(x+2) = (x²-2x+1)

(x²-x-6) = (x²-2x+1)

3. Solve for x

Subtract x² from both sides

-x-6 = -2x+1

Add 2x and 6 to both sides

x = 7
