Answer:
x = 35
y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
See how the image looks like two overlapping triangles. It is given that the triangles are congruent. Its easier to see whats what if you draw the triangles separately. I also flipped over the triangle on the right so they match. Record the given angle measures. Since A is 45° then D is also 45°. DBC is 30°, so we can find the missing angle in triangle DBC. Angles in a triangle add up to 180° so
C + 45 + 30 = 180
C + 75 = 180
C = 105°
This is angle DCB.
Now all the angles are marked. We can set up equations to find x and y. see image.
Answer:
D. 21 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use Power of Points, which basically says that for intersecting chords in a circle (see attachment), a * b = c * d.
Here, we can say that a = x, b = 6, c = 7, and d = 18. Then, we have the equation:
ab = cd
x * 6 = 7 * 18
6x = 126
x = 21
Thus, x is 21 ft.
Hope this helps!
