Answer:

x = 46

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

2(2 + x) = 6(6 + 10)

2(2 + x) = 6 × 16 = 96 ( divide both sides by 2 )

2 + x = 48 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = 46

Four times the greater of two consecutive integers is 18 more than three times the lesser integer. What are the integers?

maw [93]

This is how I would solve it:

1st # = x 4(x+1)=3x+18
2nd # = x+1 4x+4=3x+18
4x=3x+14
x=14

To check: 15x4=60; 60-42=18. <u>1st # = 14; 2nd # = 15.</u>

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

RS = 4.8

OT = 3.6

From the Pythagorean Theorem we know:

OR^2 = ST^2 + OT^2

OR^2 = 4.8^2 + 3.6^2

OR ^2 = 23.04 + 12.96

OR^2 = 36

OR = 6
