Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In circle S: XB and XD are tangents at B and D

then SB perpendicular to AX and SD perpendicular to XC

In triangle SDX: SD = 12 and SX =20 by using Pythagoras Theorem

$XD=\sqrt{20^{2} -12^{2} }=16$

XD = XB tangents to circle S from point X

XA = XC tangents to circle R from point X

then BA = DC = 15

then XC = XD + DC = 16 + 15 = 31

oel biked 9 miles east and then 12 miles north. If he biked back to his starting point using the most direct route, how many mil

kvasek [131]

Answer:

36 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

(Imagine a huge triangle on a perfectly open space-- not with streets or houses or cornfields.)

The dimensions of the two sides given are multiples of a classic Pythagorean Triple: 3, 4, 5. $3^{2} + 4^{2} = 5^{2}$

9 is 3x3, 12 is 3x4 so the remaining side would be 3x5 15

Add those 3 sides to get the total distance, 36 miles.

Michael got a loan for the Playstation 5. His loan was $600. At a 3.75% interest rate he had to pay $7.50 in interest. How long

Semmy [17]

Answer:

4 mo.

Step-by-step explanation:

I = PRT P = 600 R = .0375 I = 7.50

7.50 = 600(.0375)T

7.5 = 22.5T

T = 7.5/22.5 = 1/3 yr = 4 mo.

Can someone explain box plots

slamgirl [31]

The correct answer is C because the lowest number is 4 ( out of all the numbers ), which is the dot to the above the number 4 and the largest number is 14, that is also marked by a dot above the number 18. The medians are ( the middle number ) 8 and 10, so you are going to add these to numbers together, 8 + 10 = 18, and then you have to divide it by 2, 18 ÷ 2 = 9, which means the median is 9, which is the middle line. For the 1st quartile, you have to add both the 7's and divide by 2, 7+7=14 ÷ 2 = 7, so then the 1st quartile is 7, the line closest to the 4, repeat this for the 3rd quartile, 11 + 13 = 24 ÷ 2 = 12, 3rd quartile = 12, the line closest to the number 14.
