Answer:

CD = 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached AB is the tangent of circle O at point B. A secant through point A intersect the circle at C and D.

mAB = 4cm and  mAC = 2cm

We have find the length of CD.

By the theorem of secant and tangent

AB² = AC×AD

Here AC = 2 cm

and AD = AC + CD = (2 + CD)

Now we replace the values in the formula

4² = 2(2 + CD)

16 = 4 + 2.CD

2.CD = 16 - 4 = 12

CD=\frac{12}{2}=6

Therefore CD = 6 cm is the answer.

Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use Tangent-secant product (chapter reference), AB/AC = AD/AB so 4/2 = AD/4. AD = 8, CD = AD - AC = 8 - 2 = 6 cm.

Garrick and Zan are measuring the heights of seedling plants for science class.
Zepler [3.9K]

Garrick's measurement was 2 mm off. (10 - 8 = 2)

Zan's measurement was 12 mm off. (100 - 88 = 12)

Garrick's percent error was 20% (2 / 10 x 100)

Zan's percent error was 12% (12 / 100 x 100)

Find two numbers, if their sum is 93 and their difference is 9.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

51 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Use

x + y = 93

x - y = 9

Add those two equations together and you get 2x = 102

*y is not in the equation anymore because y + -y = 0*

Divide both sides by 2

x = 51

plug x into one of the equations; let's use x + y = 93

Then you get, 51 + y = 93

Subtract both sides by 51 and you get y = 42

Plug both in the other equation to make sure the numbers work.

51 + 42 = 93; true

51 - 42 = 9; true
