Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of distances from the intersection of secants to the near and far intersections with the circle are the same. For a tangent, the near and far points of intersection with the circle are the same. This relation tells us ...
(2√3)(2√3) = x(x +4)
12 = x² +4x
16 = x² +4x +4 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient to complete the square
4² = (x +2)² . . . . . . . . write as squares
4 = x +2 . . . . . . . . . . positive square root
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

<em>Alternate solution</em>
If you believe x to be an integer, you can look for factors of 12 that differ by 4.
12 = 1×12 = 2×6 = 3×4
The factors 2 and 6 differ by 4, so x=2 and x+4=6.
Answer:
Y = 15sqrt(3)/4
Z = 15sqrt(3)/2
b = 45/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Sin(60) =Z/15
sqrt(3)/2 = Z/15
Z = 15sqrt(3)/2
Sin(30) = Y/Z
½ = Y/Z
Y = ½(15sqrt(3))/2 = 15sqrt(3)/4
Cos(30) = b/Z
sqrt(3)/2 = b/Z
b = 15sqrt(3)/2 × sqrt(3)/2
b = 45/4
sqrt is square root/radical
Given:
$184500 are to be divided between 2 people.
One person has 80% of what the other person has.
To find:
The amount each one receive in $.
Solution:
Let $x be the amount received by first person. Then,
Amount received by the second person = 80% of x
= 0.80x
Total amount = Amount received by first person + by second person
=
=
Total amount is 184500. So,
So, the amount received by the first person is $102,500.
So, the amount received by the second person is $82,000.
The statement will be m∠ABC = m∠GHI.
Reason: ∠ABC ≅ ∠GHI
