Answer:

9.93

Step-by-step explanation:

Secant-Tangent theorem tells us that the product of the secant segment with its external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment.

From the diagram, we can say (let the unknown part of secant line, the part left of the segment length 5, be y):

(15+y)(10) = 17^2

Solving for y we get:

(15+y)(10) = 17^2\\150+10y=289\\10y=289-150\\10y=139\\y=13.9

Now we can use the chord theorem to solve for x. Chord theorem tells us that when 2 intersecting chords create 4 segments, the product of the individual chord segments are equal. Thus we can say:

5 * 13.9 = 7 * x

Now solving, we get:

5 * 13.9 = 7 * x\\69.5=7x\\x=\frac{69.5}{7}\\x=9.93

Thus x = 9.93

last answer choice is right.

HELP DUE IN 15 MINS! <br> Solve for x in the parallelogram below:<br><br> X=??
malfutka [58]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, sum to 180°, so

14x + 6 + 118 = 180

14x + 124 = 180 ( subtract 124 from both sides )

14x = 56 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 4

A pole that is 2.5 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.47 m long. At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 36.25 m lo
Roman55 [17]

The tower is 61.65 meters tall.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given that, a pole that is 2.5 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.47 m long.  

At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 36.25 m long.  

We have to find height of the tower.  

Now, we know that,

2.5 \mathrm{m} \text { tall } \rightarrow 1.47 \text { long shadow }

Then, (let it be) n meter tall \rightarrow 36.25 long shadow

So, by cross multiplication method,

\Rightarrow \frac{2.5}{1.47}=\frac{n}{36.25}

This can be written as,

\Rightarrow 36.25 \times 2.5=1.47 \times n \rightarrow 1.47 n=90.625 \rightarrow n=61.649 \rightarrow n=61.65 \text{ m}

Cross multiplications steps: (To find Single Variable)

  1. Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction.
  2. Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction.
  3. Set the two products equal to each other.
  4. Solve for the variable.

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (0,1) and (-2,0). write the equation in slope-intercept form.
Misha Larkins [42]

First of all, you have to calculate slope of that,

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (1-0)/(0+2) = 1/2

now, equation would be y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-1 = 1/2(x-0)

y-1 = x/2

y = x/2+ 1
