Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 secants are drawn from an external point to a circle.

The product of the external part and the entire secant of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire secant of the other secant, that is

5(5 + x) = 6(6 + 4) ← distribute and simplify both sides

25 + 5x = 6 × 10

25 + 5x = 60 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

5x = 35 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 7

F(x)=2(x+6)-4, f(x)=6

F(X) = 6

6 = 2(X+6) - 4

10 = 2(X+6)

5 = X+6

X = 5 - 6

X = -1.

A rectangle with sides 12 cm and 14 cm has the same diagonal as a square.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$a=\sqrt{170}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Diagonal of a Square</u>

Given a square of length side a, the length of the diagonal is

$D=\sqrt{2}a$

The diagonal of a rectangle of sides x and y is

$D=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

The sides have lengths 12 cm and 14 cm, the diagonal is

$D=\sqrt{12^2+14^2}$

$D=\sqrt{340}$

Since this value is the same of the diagonal of certain square, we can say

$\sqrt{2}a=\sqrt{340}$

Dividing by $\sqrt{2}$

$\boxed{a=\sqrt{170}}$
