Answer:

BC = 23.8

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached.

Given AC ║ DE and BD = 5, DA = 12 and BE = 7.

We have to find BC.

Since, AC ║ DE, so, Δ ABC and Δ DBE are similar.

If two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides remains the same.

Hence, \frac{BD}{BA} = \frac{BE}{BC}

⇒ \frac{5}{12 + 5} = \frac{7}{BC}

⇒ BC = \frac{7 \times 17}{5} = 23.8 (Answer)

A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. If the area of the pool and the path combined
suter [353]

Answer: the width of the uniform path is 9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the uniform path.

A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. It means that the combined length of the pool and the uniform path is (18 + 2x) meters and the combined width of the pool and the uniform path is (22 + 2x) meters.

If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1440 square meters, it means that

(18 + 2x)(22 + 2x) = 1440

396 + 36x + 44x + 4x² = 1440

4x² + 80x + 396 - 1440 = 0

4x² + 80x - 1044 = 0

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes

x² + 20x - 261 = 0

x² + 29x - 9x - 261 = 0

x(x + 29) - 9(x + 29) = 0

x - 9 = 0 or x + 29 = 0

x = 9 or x = 29

Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 9 meters

Answer:

44 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since MN is a tangent, it forms a right angle wheng it intersects line MP since MP is the diameter. So, 90+46 is 136 and since there are 180 degrees in a traingle, 180-136 is 44.

Hope this is helpful! :)
