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

What is 1 1/4 × 4 3/4 =
Luden [163]
First, we need to turn this into an improper fraction. Therefore we have: 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 4 3/4 = 19/4
Now we multiply across and eliminate as needed.
5/4 * 19/4 = 95/16
Finally, we reduce and convert to a mixed fraction.
16 goes into 95, 5 times with a remainder of 15. Therefore, we can conclude that our answer is: 5 15/16.
