The triangle inequality tells us that the sum of the two shorter sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

Here, 21 cm is one of the shorter sides, and x cm must be the length of the other shorter side.

So using the triangle inequality, 
21+x > 2x
or x<21 cm
To the nearest 0.1 cm, the greatest possible length of the longest side (2x) is 2*21-0.1 cm = 41.9 cm < 2x=42 cm.

First we find the measurement of dark dot .

ANd for that we have to use the formula of the angle formed by the intersection of chord .

Let the dark dot be t.

So we have

t =\frac{1}{2} (96+66)=81

t and z are linear pair and sum of angles of linear pair =180 degree.

So we get

t+z=180 \\ 81+z =180 \\ z = 180-81 =99 degree

Solve this quadratic equation by completing the square <br> x^2+6x=18
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

( x + 3 )² - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x = 18

→ Minus 18 from both sides to get a quadratic equation

x² + 6x - 18

⇒Completed square from is ( x + a )² + b

⇒The value of 'a' will always be half the 'b' value in the equation

ax² + bx + c

→( x + 3 )² + b

Expand out the equation to find 'b'

x² + 6x + 9

We have do something to get from 9 to - 18 which -27

So the answer is ( x + 3 )² -27
