Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of x is 7 ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise a fact in the circle

- The two tangents drawn from a point out side the circle are equal

∵ RSTUV is circumscribed about a circle

∴ Each side of the pentagon is a tangent to the circle

- Look to the attached figure to know how we will solve the problem

- Each tangent divided into two parts

# RS = x + y

∵ RS = 8

∴ x + y = 8 ⇒ (1)

# RV = x + n

∵ RV = 12

∴ x + n = 12 ⇒ (2)

- Subtract (2) from (1)

∴ y - n = -4 ⇒ (3)

# ST = y + z

∵ ST = 12

∴ y + z = 12 ⇒ (4)

# TU = z + m

∵ TU = 15

∴ z + m = 15 ⇒ (5)

- Subtract (5) from (4)

∴ y - m = -3 ⇒ (6)

# UV = m + n

∵ UV = 9

∴ m + n = 9 ⇒ (7)

- Add (6) and (7)

∴ y + n = 6 ⇒ (8)

- Lets solve equation (3) and equation (8) to find y

∵ y - n = -4 ⇒ (3)

∵ y + n = 6 ⇒ (8)

- Add (3) and (8)

∴ 2y = 2 ⇒ divide two sises by 2

∴ y = 1

- Lets substitute the value of y in equation (1)

∵ x + y = 8 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 1

∴ x + 1 = 8 ⇒ subtract (1) from both sides

∴ x = 7

* The value of x is 7

Answer:

x=6

y=7

z=4

a=8

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A,B,C,D,E are points on the circle or where RS,ST,TU,UV,VR touches the circle respectively.

RS=RAS=RA+AS=b+x=10

ST=SBT=SB+BT=x+y=13

TU=TCU=TC+CU=y+z=11

UV=UDV=UD +DV=z+a=12

VR=VER= VE +ER=a+b=12

∵

[AS=SB=x

BT=TC=y

CU=UD=z

DV=VE=a

ER=RA=b]

adding downwards

2(x+y+z+a+b)=10+13+11+12+12=58

x+y+z+a+b=58/2=29

(x+y)+(z+a)+b=29

13+12+b=29

b=29-25=4

b=4

4+x=10

x=6

6+y=13

y=13-6=7

7+z=11

z=11-7=4

4+a=12

a=12-4=8

Hannah needs 350 colored pencils for the craft kits for summer camp.
sashaice [31]
Hannah would need 4 boxes

8x12 to find out how many colored pencils in each box you would get 96 then divided that by 350 to see how many boxes you would need you would get 3.645... and so on you would need to round up since Hannah needs 350 she can’t have less but she can have more therefore Hannah needs 4 boxes of pencils

In the digram GH bisects FGI what is the answer for C.
zhannawk [14.2K]

The line GH bisects The triangle FGI meaning it divides it into two equal parts <em>(that is the definition if bisection); </em>therefore, the angles FGH and HGI are equal:

3x-2=4x-13

Now let us add 2 to both sides gives

3x=4x-11

subtracting 4x from both sides gives

-x=-11x=11.

Hence, x = 11.

The measure of FGH is

3x-2=3(11)-2=31

(B)

The measure of HGI is

4x-13=4(11)-13=31

(C)

The measure of FGI is the sum of HGI and FGH:

\begin{gathered} \text{FGI}=\text{HGI}+\text{FGH}=31+31 \\ FGI=62^o \end{gathered}

To graph:

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot your first point at (0,3) as it's your y-interecpt.

Then from that point move 2 up and 1 over to the right for your second point. I did this since 2 is your slope.
