9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment lengths of each chord have the same product.

  (x -2)(x +6) = 9×20

  x² +4x -12 = 180

  x² +4x +4 = 196 . . . . . add 16 (complete the square)

  (x +2)² = 14²

  x +2 = 14 . . . . . . . . . . . positive root is the only one useful

  x = 12

Brilliant question!!!!
avanturin [10]

Answer:

a) 21

b) 78.5 - 28.3 - 12.57 = 37.63

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle, you want to use the formula 1/2 base times height and then subtract 2 time 2. For the circle, the formula is pi times the radius squared. Then, subtract the other circles using the same formula. I hope this helps! Please mark me brainliest because I have been scammed many times. Please and thank you.
