Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠P ≅ ∠P and ∠PST≅ ∠PRQ (corresponding angles are congruent when the lines are parallel), ΔPST is similar to ΔPRQ by the AA postulate

Therefore, corresponding sides are in proportion.

PS ↔ PR and ST ↔ RQ

$\frac{PS}{PR} = \frac{ST}{RQ} \\\frac{x + 7}{2x + 6} = \frac{6}{8}$ Note: PR = PS + SR = x + 7 + x - 1 = 2x + 6

8(x + 7) = 6(2x + 6)

8x+56 = 12x + 36

4x = 20

x = 5

Point P is the center of the circle below. What is the exact area

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

$Area =192\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\theta = 120^o$

$r =24$

Required

The area of the shaded sector

This is calculated as:

$Area =\frac{\theta}{360} * \pi r^2$

This gives

$Area =\frac{!20}{360} * \pi *24^2$

$Area =\frac{1}{3} * \pi *576$

$Area =\pi *192$

$Area =192\pi$

(-1,5) (0,2) in slope intercept form

xeze [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1,5) (0,2)

y2= 2, y1 = 5, x2 = 0, x1 = -1

Slope m = [y2 - y1]/[x2 - x1]

m = {2 - 5}/{0+1}

m = -3/1

m = -3

And

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -3(x + 1)

y - 5 = -3x - 3

y = -3x - 3 + 5

y = -3x + 2
