Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
This involves the Secant and Segments Theorem.
8(19 + 8) = 9(9 + x)
216 = 81 + 9x
9x = 135
x = 15
A secant of a curve is a line that intersects the curve at a minimum of two distinct points.
So the answer is D. XY
No, equilateral triangles and isosceles triangles are 2 different things, equilateral triangles have all equals sides and angles (all angle measurements would be 60 degrees) and isosceles triangles have only 2 sides of equal measurements and one is different from the other 2. Hope I helped :)
The value of 'x' is 24.2 and the value of 'y' is 46.5.
To solve this, we do the following steps.
<u>Step 1:</u> Divide 'y' into 2 parts, 'a' and 'b'. 'a' would be the lower leg of the 45°-45°-90° triangle, while 'b' is the lower leg of the 30°-60°-90° triangle.<em>
</em><u>Step 2:</u> Given the hypotenuse (34) of the 30°-60°-90° triangle, solve for 'b' using the cosine of 30°.
cos30° = b/34 [adjacent over hypotenuse]
b = 34cos30° [cross-multiply]
b = 29.4
<u>Step 3:</u> Solve for the 90° leg (the side opposite the 30° angle) using the Pythagorean Theorem. We will name this leg "h" (cuz height).
l² + l² = hyp²
29.4² + h² = 34²
h² = 1156 - 864.36
√h² = √291.64
h = 17.1
<u>Step 4:</u> Solve for 'x' by using the 45°-45°-90° triangle ratio (1:1:√2). √2 would be the hypotenuse of the 45°-45°-90° triangle, while 1 would be both congruent legs.
Side 'h' is one of the legs; side 'a' is the other. Since these legs are congruent, 'a' also measures 17.1. Now all we need to do is solve for 'x', which is our hypotenuse. To do this, we simply multiply the measure of side 'h' or 'a' by √2.
x = 17.1 × √2
x = 24.2
<u>Step 5:</u> Now that we got the value of 'x', solve for 'y' by adding the measures of sides 'a' and 'b' together.<em>
</em><u /> y = a + b
y = 17.1 + 29.4
y = 46.5
And there you have it! <em>Hope this helps.</em>
