Answer:

AD = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The products of the segment lengths are the same.

(x -2)(x +7) = 4(2x -1)

x^2 +5x -14 = 8x -4

x^2 -3x -10 = 0

(x -5)(x +2) = 0

The positive solution is x=5.

Chord AD is ...

(x -2) +(x +7) = 2x +5 = 2(5) +5 = 15

Chord AD is 15 units long.

5. CD has an endpoint at (2, -1) and a midpoint at (8,3). Which measure is closest to the length of CD?

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for X is

$\frac{2+x}{2} =\frac{8}{1}$ use proportion to solve

2 + x = 16

x = 14

(14,y)

The equation for Y is

$\frac{-1+y}{2} =\frac{3}{1}$ use proportion to solve

-1 + y = 6

y = 7

(14,7)

now use the distance formula

(14,7) (2,-1)

which gets you 14.4 or C

frutty [35]

The correct answer is 6.5 x 10^2.

We have the amount for 1 second. To convert to 5 hours, we need to multiply it by 60 and 60 and 5.

0.036 x 60 x 60 x 5 = 648

Or about 6.5 x 10^2
