Using the intersecting chord theorem:

a x b = c x d

x+21 * 4 = x+3 * 10

Simplify:

4x+84 = 10x+30

Subtract 30 from both sides:

4x + 54 = 10x

Subtract 4x from both sides:

54 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 9

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

(segment piece) x (segment piece) =   (segment piece) x (segment piece)

ab = cd

(x+21) *4 = (x+3)*10

Distribute

4x+84=10x+30

Subtract 4x from each side

84 = 10x-4x+30

84 = 6x+30

Subtract 30 from each side

54 = 6x

Divide by 6

54/6 = 6x/6

9=x

The base radius of an ice cream cone is 3.5 cm and the slant height is 6.5 cm. What is the capacity of the ice cream cone and it
ella [17]
The formula of cone's capacity is V = (1 / 3) (pi x r x h)
we know that r = 3.5, we must find h, the slant height is H=6.5, applying pythagorean theorem  h ^2 = H^2, so h= sqrt (H^2 -  r^2)
h =  sqrt (6.5^2 - 3.5^2) = 5.47
 finally, V = (1 / 3)  (3.14 x 3.5 x 5.47) = 20.03 cm^3
 the surface are is A = pi x r x H = 71.43 cm^2

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below (-8,-7) (-7,-8)
svetlana [45]
Given two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) the midpoint would be:
M=((x₁+x₂)/2 , (y₁+y₂)/2)

In this case, the points would be: (-8,-7) and (-7,-8); therefore:
M=((-8-7)/2 , (-7-8)/2)=(-15/2,-15/2)

Answer: C.)  (-15/2 , -15,2)

A line has a slope of -1/4 and passes through point (-5/4, 1) What is the equation of the line?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The line of the equation would be y = -1/4x + 11/16.

In order to find that, we'll put the ordered pair and the slope into slope intercept form. Then we can solve for the intercept. 

y = mx + b
1 = -1/4(-5/4) + b
1 = 5/16 + b
11/16 = b

So then we put that in the equation with slope for the final equation.
