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.
The area of the square is obtained by taking the square of the length of one side. Since it is said that the area of the square is less than 100 m^2, taking the square root of that where: sqrt (100) = 10, the side of that square should be less than 10 as well. Among the choices, D. 0 <y <10 (where y = length of side of square) is the correct answer.
180
180- 40=140
140 / 2= 70
5.75a + 6.5c = 53.25
a + c = 9
c = 9 - a
5.75a + 58.5 - 6.5a = 53.25
5.25 = 0.75a
a = 7
7 + c = 9
c = 2
