Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the law of cosines in ΔABC
b² = a² + c² - (2ac cosB) ← substitute in values
= 25² + 28² - (2 × 25 × 28 × cos36.9°)
= 625 + 784 - 1400 cos36.9°
= 1409 - 1400 cos36.9° ( Take the square root of both sides )
b =
≈ 17 ( nearest whole number )

Answer:
x° = 37°
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise some facts of a circle
- The secant is a line intersect the circle in two points
- If two secants intersect each other in a point outside the circle,
then the measure of the angle between them is half the difference
of the measures of their intercepted arcs
* Now lets solve the problem
- There is a circle
- Two secants of this circle intersect each other in a point outside
the circle
∴ The measure of the angle between them = 1/2 the difference of the
measures of their intercepted arcs
∵ The measure of the angle between them is x°
∵ The measures of their intercepted arcs are 26° and 100°
- Use the rule above to find x
∴ x° = 1/2 [ measure of the large arc - measure of small arc]
∵ The measure of the large arc is 100°
∵ The measure of the small arc is 26°
∴ x° = 1/2 [100 - 26] = 1/2 [74] = 37°
∴ x° = 37°
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Common Factors</u>
An algebraic expression that is formed by sums or subtractions of terms can be factored provided there are numeric or variable common factors in all the terms.
The following expression

Can be factored in the constants and in the variable x.
1. To find the common factor of the variable, we must locate if the variable is present in all terms. If so, we take the common factor as the variable with an exponent which is the lowest of all the exponents found throughout the different terms. In this case, the lowest exponent is x (exponent 1).
2. To find the common factors of the constants, we take all the coefficients:
12 - 20 - 32
and find the greatest common divisor of them, i.e. the greatest number all the given numbers can be divided by. This number is 4, since 12/4=3, 20/4=5 and 32/4=8
3. The factored expression is
