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

Activity 1.1 Simplify Me Simplify by removing perfect nth powers: 1. √20 2. √300 3. √128 3 4. √ 5 3 5. √50 3
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

(a)\ \sqrt{20}=2\sqrt{5}

(b)\ \sqrt{300} = 10 \sqrt{3}

(c)\ \sqrt{128} = 8 \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Simplify

(a)\ \sqrt{20}

Express 20 as 4 * 5

\sqrt{20}=\sqrt{4 * 5}

Split

\sqrt{20}=\sqrt{4} * \sqrt{5}

This gives:

\sqrt{20}=2 * \sqrt{5}

\sqrt{20}=2\sqrt{5}

(b)\ \sqrt{300

Express as 100 * 3

\sqrt{300} = \sqrt{100} * \sqrt{3}

This gives:

\sqrt{300} = 10 * \sqrt{3}

\sqrt{300} = 10 \sqrt{3}

(c)\ \sqrt{128}

Express as 64 * 2

\sqrt{128} = \sqrt{64*2}

Split

\sqrt{128} = \sqrt{64} * \sqrt{2}

\sqrt{128} = 8 * \sqrt{2}

\sqrt{128} = 8 \sqrt{2}

By selling old CD Sarah has a store credit of $153 a new CD cost $18 what are the problem numbers of new cCD Sarah can buy
DiKsa [7]
Rileyflipflop, \frac{153}{18} = 8 \frac{1}{2}, since she can't buy half a CD, she's limited to no more than 8 CDs. If x = the cost of one CD, then x CDs cost $18x. Since we are limited to $153, our equation looks like... 18x < 153x < 8 \frac{1}{2} Again, since we can't buy half a CD, your answer should actually be... x ≤ 8 since we can buy 8 CDs or fewer.
