Answer:

CE = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AE = 3

EB = 4

CE = x

ED = x + 1

Required:

CE

Solution:

First we need to determine the value of x by generating am equation as follows:

CE × ED = AE × EB (Interacting Chords Theorem)

Substitute

x × (x + 1) = 3 × 4

x² + x = 12

Subtract 12 from each side

x² + x - 12 = 12 - 12

x² + x - 12 = 0

Factorize to find the value of x

x² + 4x - 3x - 12 = 0

x(x + 4) -3(x + 4) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Or

x + 4 = 0

x = -4

Let's use the positive value of x

CE = x = 3

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

11.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the right triangle formed by the tent pole, the ground and the guy rope,  where the guy rope (g) is the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

g² = 9² + 7² = 81 + 49 = 130 ( take the square root of both sides )

g = \sqrt{130} ≈ 11.4 feet
