Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a point in the figure that has no name. It is the point on segment BC,  between B and C. Call that point D.

Angles BAD and CAD are shown to be congruent. That makes AD the bisector of angle ABC. Now you can use the Triangle Angle Bisector Theorem. This theorem gives you a proportion of side lengths.

AB/BD = AC/CD

Substitute the side lengths and solve for x.

(x + 8)/10 = (2x - 5)/14

14(x + 8) = 10(2x - 5)

14x + 112 = 20x - 50

-6x = -162

x = 27

A sector of a circle has a central angle to 10° and arc length 28 pi units what is the radius of the circle
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Radius = 504units

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle = 10°

Length of arc = 28π units

L = ∅/360 × 2πr

28π = 10/360 × 2πr

28π = 1/36 × 2πr

2πr = 28π × 36

π cancelled off.......

2r = 28 × 36

r = (28 × 36)/2

r = 28 × 18

r = 504units

Which two linear equations represent perpendicular lines? select two choices?
denis23 [38]
In order for two linear lines to be perpendicular, the product of their gradient must be -1.

Let's take y = x + b and y = -x + b
This is already in the form: y = mx + b, where m is 1 and -1 respectively.
Since the product of their gradient is -1, they are said to be perpendicular.
