Simora [160]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 intersecting chords, then the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is

EB × AE = ED × CE

x(x + 1) = 3 × 2 = 6

x² + x = 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x² + x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

But x > 0 , then x = 2

Describe how you could draw a diagram for a problem about finding the total length for two strings, 15 inches long and 7 inches
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Two strings are 15 inches and 7 inches long.

You could draw a diagram that has two rulers (that are longer than 12 inches).

Draw a piece of string that is exactly 15 inches on one ruler.
Draw another piece of string on the other ruler at exactly 7 inches.

Then you can find the total length of the two strings by adding 15 and 7 inches.
15 + 7 = 22

The total length of both the strings is 22 inches. You can draw a ruler and a piece of string on it at 22 inches.

Natali [406]

Answer:

D = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

In a parallelogram ABCD,

∠A =70∘

∠A + ∠B = 180∘.. (supplementary angles)

∠B = 180∘ – 70∘ = 110∘

∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D.. (Opposite angles of parallelogram)

∠A = 70∘, ∠B = 110∘, ∠C = 70∘, ∠D = 110
