Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two secants drawn from an external point to the circle, then
The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant, that is
x(x + 21) = (x + 1)(x + 1 + 14)
x² + 21x = (x + 1)(x + 15) ← expand using FOIL
x² + 21x = x² + 16x + 15 ( subtract x² + 16x from both sides )
5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 3
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Elevation of the plane is y.
y =
The airplane starts at an elevation of 8500 feet
y = 8500
It is said that the plane loses elevation at a rate of 150 feet per minute.
y = 8500 - 150
We don't know how many minutes the plane has been losing elevation so we use <em>m</em>
y = 8500 - 150m
Let the measure of the smaller angle be x, then the larger angle is 5 + 6x and
x + 5 + 6x = 180
7x + 5 = 180
7x = 180 - 5 = 175
x = 175/7 = 25
The larger angle is 5 + 6(25) = 5 + 150 = 155 degrees.
