Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = AB + BC

Since we know what each variable equals, we can write out the equation as shown:

52 = 8X + 8 + 2X + 4

Combining like terms:

52 = 10X + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides:

40 = 10X

Divide by 10:

X = 4

Now that we know X, we can figure out BC

BC = 2(4) + 4

BC = 8 + 4

BC = 12

Therefore BC is 12.

The inside wheels of a car traveling on a circular path are rotating half as fast as the outside wheels. The front two wheels ar

barxatty [35]

Answer:

about 37.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the outside wheels are turning twice as fast, they go twice the distance in the same time. The distance they travel is proportional to the radius of the circle, so the outside circle must have twice the radius of the inside circle.

Adding 6 ft to the radius of the inside circle doubles the radius, so the inside circle's radius must be 6 feet. Then the circumference of the inside circle is ...

C = 2πr = 2π(6 ft) = 12π ft ≈ 37.7 ft
