Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).

If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.

18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.

You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.

14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7

(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)

Circle O is shown. 2 tangents intersect at a point outside of the circle which is labeled Satellite. The angle formed is 20 degr
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The arc measure, x, that the satellite can see is 160°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two tangents intersect at a point outside the with circle center O

The angle formed between between the two tangent = 20°

The first arc formed is measured as x°, which is the arc opposite the point where the two tangents meet = The arc the satellite can see

The angle x is given by the relationship;

x = 2 × (90 - v/2)

Where;

v = The angle formed at the point where the two tangent meet = 20°

Therefore;

x = 2 × (90 - 20/2) =  2 × (90 - 10) =  2 × 80  = 160°

The arc measure, x, that the satellite can see = 160°.

What is the first step when solving the equation below for x?
arsen [322]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 0.2=0.9

transposing 0.2 to RHS

=> 4x =0.9-0.2 => 4x=0.7

transposing 4 to RHS

=> x=0.7÷4

=> x=0.175
