Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>7) The lengths of the tangent from an external point to a circle are equal.</h3>2x - 1 = x + 10
2x = x + 10 + 1
2x = x + 11
2x -x = 11
8) Radius : XC
Chord: CB
Diameter : AB
Name of the circle: X {a circle is named by its center}
Answer:
In reality, the 5's go on forever, but we have to round off somewhere.

Explanation:
Break up the triangles as your teacher recommends. See the diagram below as to what I mean.
The smaller triangle has A = 8 as the horizontal side, and B = x as the vertical side
The larger triangle has C = 10+8 = 18 as the horizontal aside, and D = 8 as the vertical side.
We can form the proportion A/C = B/D.
A/C connects the horizontal sides (small/large) while B/D has the vertical sides tied together. The order of division is the same small over large. You could do large over small, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.
-----------------
Let's solve for x
A/C = B/D
8/18 = x/8
8*8 = 18*x .... cross multiply
64 = 18x
18x = 64
x = 64/18 .... divide both sides by 18
x = 32/9 exactly in fraction form
x = 3.556 approximately in decimal form
-------------------
Another proportion you can solve is A/B = C/D and you should get the same x value. It's the same as A/C = B/D because the B and C swap places. There are many other approaches you could take using different proportions.
Answer:
Line LM
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to know what the slope is of a line that would be perpendicular to a line with a slope of -5/6. To find this, we take the reciprocal and multiply it by -1. Therefore, the line we are looking for needs to have a slope of 6/5.
Based on the fact that the slope is positive, we can eliminate lines PQ and JK as they have a negative slope. This leaves us with lines LM and NO.
To find out whether or not it is between LM and NO, you could eyeball it by looking at the graph and simply counting which might be faster if you understand how to do that (rise/run), or you can use the pair of coordinates given to you on each line to calculate for slope.
Line LM -
Line NO -
Based on this, we know that line LM is perpendicular to a line that has a slope of -5/6.
