AX and EX are secant segments that intersect at point X. Circle C is shown. Secants A X and E X intersect at point X outside of

the circle. Secant A X intersects the circle at point B and secant E X intersects the circle at point E. The length of A B is 7, the length of B X is 2, and the length of X D is 3. What is the length of DE? 1 unit 3 units 4One-half units 4Two-thirds units

Answer:

DE = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is attached.

There are 2 secant lines in the circle. We can use secant theorem to solve this easily.

It states that "if 2 secants are drawn to a circle from an outside point, then product of 1 secant and its "outside" part is equal to product of other secant and its "outside" part.

From the figure, we can say:

AX * BX = EX * DX

We let the length to find , DE, be "x".

Thus, we can write:

AX * BX = EX * DX\\(7+2)(2)=(x+3)(3)

Now, we solve this for x:

(7+2)(2)=(x+3)(3)\\(9)(2)=(3)(x+3)\\18=3x+9\\3x=18-9\\3x=9\\x=3

Thus,

<u>DE = 3 units</u>

Cherie is jogging around a circular track. She
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Measure of minor angle JOG is 95.5^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a circular track of radius 120 yards. Assume that Cherie starts from point J and runs 200 yards up to point G.  

\therefore m JG = 200 yards, JO=120 yards.  

Now the measure of minor arc is same as measure of central angle. Therefore minor angle is the central angle \angle JOG = \theta.

To calculate the central angle, use the arc length formula as follows.  

Arc\:Length\left(s\right) = r\:\theta  

Where \theta is measured in radian.

Substituting the value,

200=120\:\theta  

Dividing both side by 120,

\dfrac{200}{120}=\theta  

Reducing the fraction into lowest form by dividing numerator and denominator by 40.

\therefore \dfrac{5}{3}=\theta  

Therefore value of central angle is \angle JOG = \theta=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}, since angle is in radian

Now convert radian into degree by using following formula,

1^{c}=\left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}

So multiplying \theta with \left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ} to convert it into degree.

\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right) \times \left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}

Simplifying,

\therefore \theta = 95.49^{circ}

So to nearest tenth, \angle JOG=95.5^{circ}

PLEASE HELP ME!!! QUICKLY!!
podryga [215]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

2L=w

32=LxW

so you put the 2L as the w

which is 32=Lx2L

32=2L^2

16=L^2

4=L

*To find the width you input 4 as L*

So 8=W

The shortest side would be 4
