The two tangent lines for each circle are the same length. Set the equations to equal and solve for x.
1. 4x + 3 = 3x +12
Subtract 3x from each side:
x +3 = 12
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x = 9
2. -2 + x = 2x -7
Subtract 2x from both sides:
-2 - x = -7
Add 2 to each side:
-x = -5
Multiply both sides by -1:
x = 5
Answer:
4/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividing a whole cantaloupe into eighths will give you 8/8 or 1. When it is cut in half then divided there is one half of 8/8 or there are 4/8 in one half. This is true because 1/2 and 4/8 are equal terms.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
A = 76.8 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a regular polygon is calculated as
A =
pa ( p is the perimeter and a the apothem )
Here p = 8 × 4 = 32 yd and a = 4.8 yd , then
A =
× 32 × 4.8 = 16 × 4.8 = 76.8 yd²
