Answer:

<h2>Side YZ is 8 units long.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can deduct form the graph that segment WO is a radius of the circle and XY is its diameters.

By given, we know that XY = 10, which means WO=\frac{XY}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5, by radius definition.

An important characteristic of tangents about circles is that the tangent is always is perpendicular to the radius, that means \angle OWZ = 90\°\\ and \triangle OWZ is a right triangle, that means we can use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the side YZ.

OZ^{2} =WZ^{2}+OW^{2}

Where OZ is the hypothenuse and WZ , OW are legs of the triangle.

Replacing all given values, we have

OZ^{2}=12^{2}+5^{2}\\OZ=\sqrt{144+25}=\sqrt{169}\\  OZ=13

However, by sum of segments, we have

OZ=OY+YZ, where OY=OW=5 and OZ=13

13=5+YZ\\YZ=13-5\\YZ=8

Therefore, side YZ is 8 units long.

Answer:

B) No Unique Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

z=x+5y-14

-2y=-4\\y={-4}{-2}=2

3x+y-3z=14

now we now the value of y = 2 so we will substitute in equation  z=x+5y-14

z=x+5\times2-14\\z=x+10-14\\z= x-4

Now, We have value of y=2 and value of z=x-4 Substituting in both the value in equation 3x+y-3z=14

3x+2-3(x-4)=14\\3x+2-3x+12=14\\14=14

which means that the equation has Infinite solutions.
