Answer:

x = 8.


Explanation:

The external secent line theorem says,
S1E1 = S2E2.

Secent s1 and s2.
External E1 and E2.

E2 = 12.
S2 = 32

S1 = 8 + x.
E1 = 8.

12*32 = 8(8+x).
384 = 8(8+x).
48 = 8+x
x = 40.

Answer:

x = 40

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

8(8 + x) = 12(12 + 20)

8(8 + x) = 12 × 32 = 384 ( divide both sides by 8 )

8 + x = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 40

Identify the similar triangles. Find each measure.​
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Example: these two triangles are similar: If two of their angles are equal, then the third angle must also be equal, because angles of a triangle always add to make 180°. So AA could also be called AAA (because when two angles are equal, all three angles must be equal)

Yeah I don’t get this
umka2103 [35]

using pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(12x)^2 + (16x)^2 = 10^2

square each term

144x^2 + 256x^2 = 100

combine like terms

400 x^2 = 100


divide by 400 on each side

x^2 = 1/4

take the square root on each side

x = 1/2


Answer:  x=1/2
