Hi there!
Since ST is a tangent to the circle, we can use the relationship: tangent squared = external secant segment x entire secant segment.
WORK:
(I will be using x in place of ST)
x^2 = 7(23 + 7)
x^2 = 7(30)
x^2 = 210
x = squareroot(210) or approximately 14.5 inches
Hope this helps!! :)
4 to 5, or 4.5. I hoped I helped!!

Answer:
72.25
Step-by-step explanation:
12.5 x 8.5 = 106.25
5 x 6.75 = 33.75
106.25- 33.75 = 72.25
Simplify 3x -2x -2x = 3x + -2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 3x + -2x + -2x = (3x + -2x +-2x) = -x
answer is: -x
Answer:
one side = 
Step-by-step explanation:
if you draw an octagon on a piece of paper, you can draw a square around it, you should be able to see a diagram of this attached, ignore the 6.
Let's say TP = a
since it's a regular octagon, TP = HT
and using the Pythagoras Theorem, we know a² + b² = c² and thus:
√(AT² + HA²) = HT
and since AT = HA which we will call x, the equation becomes:
√(2x²) = HT = a
rearrange the equation to solve for x and you get:
2x² = a²
x² = 
x =
which, if you rationalise the denominator, you get:
x =
