Answer:
x= 6.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
When a tangent line touches the circle, it forms a right angle triangle at that point
Apply the Pythagorean relationship in this case
Given that the height is = 20.2 cm = b
The hypotenuse is = c= x+14.7 cm
General formulae is;
a² +b² =c²
x² + 20.2² =( x+ 14.7)²
x² + 408.04= x² +14.7x+14.7x+216.09
x² + 408.04= x² + 29.4 x +216.09.........................collect like terms
x²-x² + 408.04-216.09= 29.4x
191.95= 29.4x-------------------------------divide by 29.4 t0 get x
191.95/29.4 =x
x=6.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
24: x = 31
25: x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
24 is supplementary which means that the two angles add to 180o which is on the right hand side of the equation
25 is complementary which means that the two angles add to 90o which is on the left hand side of the equation

3x + 31 +2x - 6 = 180 Collect the like terms
3x +2x + 31 - 6 = 180 Do the adding and subtracting.
5x + 25 = 180 Subtract 25 from both sides
5x + 25 - 25 = 180 - 25
5x = 155 Divide by 5
x = 155/5
x = 31
Check
3x + 31 = 3*31 + 31
3x + 31 = 93 + 31
3x + 31 = 124
2x - 6 = 2*31 - 6 = 62 - 6 = 56
Total 124 + 56 = 180 as it should.
Twenty Five
Equation
3x+ 4x - 15 = 90
Solution
7x - 15 = 90 Like terms have been collected on the left.
7x = 90 + 15 15 was added to both sides
7x = 105 Divide by 7
x = 15 I'll leave the check to you
Total number of cards = 25 .
Total number of possible draws = 25
Number of possible successes = 5
(The successful draws are 1, 2, 3, 9, and 18.)
Probability of success = 5/25 = <em>1/5 </em> = 0.2 = 20%
They are all even numbers and divisible by 2
