The tangents are equal length, so
.. 8x = x^2
We presume their length is not zero, so we can divide by x to get
.. 8 = 2x
.. 4 = x
Then the length of each tangent is 8*4 = 32 units.
If you are saying that the hypotenuse is 10 cm the you have to solve the following equation using the Pythagorean theory.
4^2 + b^2 = 10^2
16 + b^2 = 100
16 - 16 + b^2 = 100 - 16
b^2 = 84
Find 
Answer:
6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A=b1+b2/2*h
Fill in the equation with what we know
21=8+x/2*3
Isolate x
Quick steps: 21/3=7*2=14-8=6
x=6
X2-1 I think that's the answer because there's 1 less, 1 take away the x and squared!! hard to explain but that's how I thought about it
