The Length of FD = 26 cm
According to the given information
FE = FC = 12cm
As FE, FC both are radius of circle
The tangent segments to a circle from a external point are equal
Hence
CD = ED
13x - 16 = 4x + 11
13x - 4x = 11 + 16
9x = 27
x = 27/9
x = 3
CD = 13x - 16
= 13 × 3 - 16
= 23 cm
ED = 4x + 11
= 4 × 3 + 11
= 23 cm
In Triangle FED
FE is perpendicular to ED
According to Pythagoras Theorem
=
= 673
FD = 26 cm approx.
The Length of FD = 26 cm

Answer:
Extremely large and small numbers that have many zeros are long to write and take up a lot of room. So, by using scientific notation a number can be written shorter. For example, numbers such as 295,000,000,000 can be shortened to 2.95x. This is easier to write and understand. This is why the scientific notation is used over standard.
We have been given that Jonathan is using the microscope in lab. He saw a chain of bacteria that was 10 millimeters long. We are asked to find the length of chain of bacteria in centimeters.
We know that 1 millimeter is equal to 0.1 centimeter.
To convert 10 milllimeters into centimeters, we will multiply 10 by 0.1.
Therefore, the chain of the bacteria is 1 cm long.
