Answer
Total 9 drops of food coloring did we use
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
As per the statement:
The ratio of green food coloring to blue food coloring is:
1 : 2
number drops of green = x
number drops of blue= 2x
It is also given that:
we used 6 drops of blue.
⇒
Divide both sides by 2 we have;
x = 3
We have to find how many total drops of food coloring did we use.
Total number of drops = x+2x = 3x
⇒Total number of drops = 3(3) = 9
Therefore, 9 total drops of food coloring did we use
The value of x is 15.56.
Solution:
Tangent and Secant theorem:
If one secant and one tangent are drawn to a circle from one exterior point, then the square of the length of the tangent is equal to the product of the external secant segment and the total length of the secant.
BE = 22 BD = x, CD = x
BC = x + x = 2x
By the tangent and secant theorem,
Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation, we get
Take square root on both side of the equation.
x = 15.56
Hence the value of x is 15.56.
