Answer:

x = $2\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem,

Hypotenuse² = base² + altitude²

x² = (√8)² + 4²

= 8 + 16

= 20

x = √20 = $\sqrt{2*2*5} = 2\sqrt{5}$

x = $2\sqrt{5}$

Describe the relationship between the segments made when secant lines intersect outside a circle. Use the following image as ref

Natali [406]

Let the extensions of secants AD and BC meet at point P.

Let the measure of ar DC be 2a, then m(DAC)=m(DBC)=a, since angles DAC and DBC are both inscribed angles intercepting arc DC.

m(P)=b.

Then triangles APC and BPD are similar, because they have 2 pairs of common angles.

from the similarity of APC and BPD, we can write the ratios:

$\frac{AP}{BP} = \frac{PC}{PD} = \frac{AC}{BD}$

Arte-miy333 [17]

400 because divide 60 by 15 in order to get 1% of the unknown number, which is 4. Then, just multiply 4 by 100 to get 100% of the number, which equals 400.

Darren bought some paint. He used 2 1/4 gallons painting his living room. After that, he had 3 5/6 gallons left. How much paint

Otrada [13]

Answer: $6\frac{1}{12}\ gallons$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make the conversion from mixed numbers to improper fractions:

Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.
Add the numerator of the fraction and the product obtained (This sum will be the new numerator).
The denominator is the same.

Then:

$2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{(2*4)+1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}\\\\3\frac{5}{6}=\frac{(6*3)+5}{6}=\frac{23}{6}$

We need to add the fractions in order to calculate the amount of paint Darren bought. Since the denominators are differente, we must find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):

$4=2*2=2^2\\\\6=2*3\\\\\\LCD=2^2*3=12$

Then:

$\frac{9}{4}+\frac{23}{6}=\frac{27+46}{12}=\frac{73}{12}\ gallons$

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number:

When you divide 73 by 12 you get a quotient of 6. This will be the whole number.
The remainder obtained is 1. This will be the numerator of the fraction.
The denominator does not change.

Then:

$\frac{73}{12}\ gallons=6\frac{1}{12}\ gallons$
