Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersecting Chords Theorem: ab = cd

Step 1: Label our variables

<em>a</em> = x

<em>b</em> = x - 11

<em>c</em> = x - 8

<em>d</em> = x - 5

Step 2: Plug into theorem

x(x - 11) = (x - 5)(x - 8)

Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>

x² - 11x = x² - 8x - 5x + 40

x² - 11x = x² - 13x + 40

-11x = -13x + 40

2x = 40

x = 20

Answer: x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

ab=cd

x(x - 11) = (x - 5)(x - 8)

x^2 - 11x = x^2 - 13x + 40

x^2 - 11x = x^2 - 8x - 5x + 40

-11x = -13x + 40\\2x = 40\\x = 20

Which correctly describes a cross section of the cube below? Check all that apply.
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A cross section parallel to the base is a square measuring 4 cm by 4 cm.

A cross section perpendicular to the base through the midpoints of opposite sides is a square measuring 4 cm by 4 cm.

A cross section that passes through the entire bottom front edge and the entire top back edge is a rectangle measuring 4 cm by greater than 4 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross sections parallel and Perpendicular to the base are squares 4 × 4

The diagonal cross section will be a rectangle with base 4 and height

sqrt(4² + 4²) = 4sqrt(2) > 4
