A right-angled triangle has sides of lengths (x+5)cm, (x-3)cm and 9cm. Calculate the value of x

Arturiano [62]3 years ago

Answer:

x=4.0625 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the two legs.

Not knowing which is the hypotenuse, lets assume that (x+5)cm is the hypotenuse:

(x+5)^2= 9^2+(x-3)^2

(x^2+10x+25)=81+(x^2-6x+9)

x^2+10x+25=81+x^2-6x+9

16x=65

x=4.0625

Checking:

(4.0625+5)^2=9^2+(4.0625-3)^2

82.1289=82.1289

if an external point of a circle is at a distance equal to the diameter of the circle from the center of the circle, the length
jeka57 [31]

Let the radius of the circle be r. Then the line from the external point through the center of the circle which extends to the far point on the circle has length 3r .By the tangent - secant theorem

t^2 = 3r * r = 3r^2 ( where t is the length of the tangent).

So t = √(3r^2) = √3r answer.
