-13+9=-4
When you add a positive number to a negative number the answer will get closer to 0 and then progress up in positive numbers. In this case we are finding which of the numbers equals -4 when added to -13. Remember, if you add a negative to a negative you will get a negative.
-13+-17=-30 This is the wrong answer.
-13+-9=-21 This is the wrong answer.
-13+17=4 This is the wrong answer. (This is positive 4 we are trying to find -4)
-13+9=-4 This is the right answer
Therefore X=9
Answer:
Diameter = 19.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Imaging a radius line from O to the endpoints of the 7. call this line R.
Label the part of the vertical line from O to the 90 degree intersection y.
Now you have a right triangle.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
R² = 7² + y²
also
y = R - 3
substitute for y:
R² = 49 + (R-3)²
R² = 49 + R² - 6R + 9
simplify:
0 = 58 - 6R
6R = 58
R = 9.6667
Diameter = 2(9.6667) = 19.33
The answer is D and it's pretty simple to do:
