What is the measure of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
UkoKoshka [18]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2

(x+5) *x = 6^2

x^2 +5x = 36

Subtract 36 from each side

x^2 +5x - 36 = 0

Factor

( x-4) (x+9) = 0

Using the zero product property

x-4 = 0  x+9 =0

x = 4  x=-9

Cannot be negative since that is negative length

x=4

Patty made a banner that has an area of 175 square inches. The length and width of the banner are whole numbers. The length is 7
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Length = 35

w = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

l x w = area

7y x y = 175

7y^2 = 175

y^2 = 175/7

y^2=25

y=5

The length is 7y, so it's 5 times 7 or 35.

The width is just y, so it's 5.
