Answer:
D.) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the Pythagorean theorem because this is a right triangle:
a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle (since it is opposite the biggest angle). The two legs squared have to add up to the hypotenuse squared.
Fill in values:
Simplify exponents:
Isolate the variable. Subtract 225 from both sides:
Find the square root of both sides:
The missing leg length is 8.

Gertie 3/4 mile.
Sarah 2/4 mile.
Gertie ran farther by: 3/4 - 2/4 = (3 -2)/4 = 1/4
Gertie ran farther by 1/4 mile.
Answer:
12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The square of the length of the tangent segment is equal to the product of near and far distances to the circle from the point of intersection of the secant and tangent:
(8 cm)^2 = (4 cm)(4 cm +x)
16 cm = 4 cm +x . . . . . . divide by 4 cm
12 cm = x . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4 cm
A. This is the original equation: 2x + 3 - 1 = x + 5
b. 2x + 2 = x + 5 ← combined like terms on left side
2x + 2 - 2 = x + 5 - 2 ← used inverse operation to collect constants on right side
2x = x + 3 ←simplified each side
2x - x = x - x + 3 ←used inverse operation to collect variable terms on left side
x = 3 ← simplified each side
answer x = 3
c. 2(3) + 3 - 1 = 3 + 5
6 + 3 - 1 = 8
9 - 1 = 8
8 = 8
