Solve For X (see picture below) thank you!

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]2 years ago

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If </em><em>two secants</em><em> are drawn from</em><em> a point outside </em><em>the circle, then the </em><em>product</em><em> of the lengths of</em><em> one secant </em><em>and its</em><em> external segment</em><em> equals the </em><em>product </em><em>of the lengths of</em><em> the other secant </em><em>and its</em><em> external segment</em><em> </em>

Let us solve the question.

∵ There is a circle in the given figure

∵ There are two secants intersected at a point outside the circle

∵ The length of one of them = 8

∵ The length of its external segment = x

∵ The length of the other secant = 4 + 8 = 12

∵ The length of its external segment = 4

→ By using the rule above

∴ 8 × x = 12 × 4

∴ 8x = 48

→ Divide both sides by 8

∴ x = 6

What is the slope of these two equations?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

8. 0

9. undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

8. 0

> because the y variable is the same for all x-values, this is a horizontal line. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0.

  > <em>Thinking of slope as rise over run: we will always rise 0, and run __ from any two points--0 divided by any number is always 0</em>

9. undefined

> because the x variable is always the same, no matter what y variable we graph, we will have the same outcome. So, this would look like a straight line, which have an undefined slope.

   > <em>If you think of a slope as rise / run; if you go from any two points, there will be a 0 in the denominator--which is undefined</em>

What is the cross-sectional area of a wire if its outside diameter is 0.0625 inch?
Leno4ka [110]

Given that the diameter: d= 0.0625 inch.

So, radius of the wire : r = \frac{0.0625}{2} = 0.03125 inch

Now the formula to find the cross-sectional area of wire ( circle) is:

A = πr²

= 3.14 * (0.03125)² Since, π = 3.14 and r = 0.03125

=3.14 * 0.000976563

= 0.003066406

= 0.00307 (Rounded to 5 decimal places).

Hence, cross-sectional area of a wire is 0.00307 square inches.

Hope this helps you!
