Secants L J and L M intersect and form an angle at point L. Solve for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
german3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 14  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume your diagram is like the one below.

The intersecting secant angles theorem states, "When two secants intersect outside a circle, the measure of the angle formed is one-half the difference between the far and the near arcs."

For your diagram, that means

\begin{array}{rcl}m\angle L &=&\dfrac{1}{2} \left(m \widehat {JM} - m\widehat {PQ}\right)\\\\(3x + 13)^{\circ}& = &\dfrac{1}{2} \left[(8x + 48)^{\circ} - (5x - 20)^{\circ}\right]\\\\3x + 13& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(8x + 48 - 5x + 20)\\\\3x + 13& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(3x + 68)\\\\6x + 26 & = & 3x + 68\\6x & = & 3x + 42\\3x & = & 42\\x & = & \mathbf{14}\\\end{array}

Check:

\begin{array}{rcl}(3\times14 + 13) & = &\dfrac{1}{2} \left[(8\times14 + 48)^{\circ} - (5\times14 - 20)^{\circ}\right]\\\\42 + 13& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(112 + 48 - 70 + 20)\\\\55& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(110)\\\\55 & = & 55\\\end{array}

It checks.

The vertices of ∆ABC are A(-2, 2), B(6, 2), and C(0, 8). The perimeter of ∆ABC is units is? What is the area?
11111nata11111 [884]

we have

A(-2, 2),B(6, 2),C(0, 8)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to

P=AB+BC+AC

and

the area of the triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}*base *heigth

in this problem

base=AB\\heigth=DC

we know that

The distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

Step 1

<u>Find the distance AB</u>

A(-2, 2),B(6, 2)

Substitute the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(2-2)^{2}+(6+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(8)^{2}}

dAB=8\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the distance BC</u>

B(6, 2),C(0, 8)

Substitute the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0-6)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(-6)^{2}}

dBC=6\sqrt{2}\ units

Step 3

<u>Find the distance AC</u>

A(-2, 2),C(0, 8)

Substitute the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(2)^{2}}

dAC=2\sqrt{10}\ units

Step 4

<u>Find the distance DC</u>

D(0, 2),C(0, 8)

Substitute the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(0)^{2}}

dDC=6\ units

Step 5

<u>Find the perimeter of the triangle</u>

P=AB+BC+AC

substitute the values

P=8\ units+6\sqrt{2}\ units+2\sqrt{10}\ units

P=22.81\ units

therefore

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to 22.81\ units

Step 6

<u>Find the area of the triangle</u>

A=\frac{1}{2}*base *heigth

in this problem

base=AB=8\ units\\heigth=DC=6\ units

substitute the values

A=\frac{1}{2}*8*6

A=24\ units^{2}

therefore

the area of the triangle is 24\ units^{2}

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

4.10

0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know that

A recent sociological report stated that university students drink 4.10 alcoholic drinks per week on average, with a standard deviation of 1.9101.

Also, we're tasked with finding the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean alcohol consumption.

To find the mean of the sampling distribution, we take the sample mean of the same of that university students as a direct substitute. This then means that the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean alcohol consumption is 4.10 alcoholic drinks per week on average.

On the other hand, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean alcohol consumption is taken to be the division of the standard deviation of the sample mean. Mathematically, we have

Standard Deviation, S = 1.9101 / √125

Standard Deviation, S = 1.9101 / 11.18

Standard Deviation, S = 0.17

Therefore, the Standard Deviation is 0.17
