Each foot of the real desk will be 0.5 on the dolls desk.
3ft x 0.5 in per ft = 1.5 inches
We can split this up into 3 rectangles. 2 vertical ones (8 x 3) and one horizontal one in the middle (5 x (8 - 5)
8 x 3 = 24
24 x 2 = 48
5 x (8-5) = 5 x 3 = 15
now add 48 + 15 = 63 cm^2
Answer:
<u>Secant</u>: a straight line that intersects a circle at two points.
<u>Intersecting Secants Theorem</u>
If two secant segments are drawn to the circle from one exterior point, the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external part is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external part.
From inspection of the given diagram:
- M = Exterior point
- MK = secant segment and ML is its external part
- MS = secant segment and MN is its external part
Therefore:
⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS
Given:
- MK = (x + 15) + 6 = x + 21
- ML = 6
- MS = 7 + 11 = 18
- MN = 7
Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for x:
⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS
⇒ 6(x + 21) = 7 · 18
⇒ 6x + 126 = 126
⇒ 6x = 0
⇒ x = 0
Substituting the found value of x into the expression for KL:
⇒ KL = x + 15
⇒ KL = 0 + 15
⇒ KL = 15
To complete a square for ax²+bx+c, you first make a=1.
in this case, a is already 1
move c to the right side: x²+14x=-47
next, add (1/2 of b)² to both sides, in this case, b=14, half of 14 is 7, so x²+14x+ 7²=-47+7²
the left side is now a perfect square: (x+7)²=2
x+7=√2 or x+7=-√2
x=√2-7, or x=-2-√7
