Answer:

DF = 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants 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

DE × DF = DC × DB

5(5 + x) = 5(5 + 4.5) ← divide both sides by 5

5 + x = 5 + 4.5

5 + x = 9.5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = 4.5

Then

DF = DE + EF = 5 + 4.5 = 9.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the first two, and hopefully you'll be able to figure the rest out:

1. Answer below

$d = rt$

The problem asks us to solve for $r$ , so that means we need to get $r$ on one side of the equation by itself. To do so, we will need to divide both sides of the equation by $t$ :

$\frac{d}{t} = \frac{rt}{t}$

$\frac{d}{t} = r$

2. Answer below

$B = T - Lc$

The problem asks us to solve for $T$ , so that means we need to get $T$ on one side of the equation by itself. To do so, we will need to add $Lc$ to both sides of equation:
