So, these are actually pretty simple once you learn the equality used to solve for "x" and when to implement this method. You can use this equality to solve for a segment "x" anytime that two secant lines cutting through a circle come from the same point outside the circle.

Secant: by geometric definition is just a straight line that cuts a curve into multiple pieces.

I did one of them for you hopefully you can use my work for "a" to help you solve for "b". For a. I got x=7.

ricardo ran the 400-meter race 3 times ,his fastest time was 54.3 seconds, his slowest time was 56.1 seconds, if his average tim

MatroZZZ [7]

Take the 2 times you are given and add them to x and divide the entire left side of the equation by 3:
54.3+56.1+x/3=55
54.3+56.1+x=165
x=54.6
The 3rd lap took him 54.6 seconds to run
