<h3>Answer:   A) 20</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

Use the chord intersecting theorem

The pieces of each chord multiply to the same products

(x-5)*(x-8) = x*(x-11)

x^2-13x+40 = x^2-11x

-13x+40 = -11x ...... x^2 terms cancel

40 = -11x+13x ..... add 13x to both sides

40 = 2x

2x = 40

x = 40/2   ..... divide both sides by 2

x = 20

One positive integer is 3 less than twice another. the sum of their squares is 233. find the integers.
lana66690 [7]
Let the two integers be x and y
x-3= 2y
x=2y+3______(1)

x²+y²= 233_____(2)
sub eqn (1) into (2)
{2y+3}²+y²=233
4y² + 12y +9 +y²=233
5y²+12y+9-233=0
5y²+12y-224=0
y= -8 or 5.6
recall they are positive integers so y=5.6
now sub y=5.6 into eqn (1)
x=2(5.6)+3 = 11.2+3=14.2

the two integers are 14.2 and 5.6

A 5ft 11-inch women cast a three ft shadow. what is the angle that the sun's rays make with the ground?
zepelin [54]
This will involve finding an arctangent.
We'll consider the woman's height as the "opposite" side of a triangle and the shadow as the "adjacent" side.  The angle that the Sun makes equals the arc tangent of that angle.
tan (Sun's angle) = 71" / 36"
tan (Sun's angle) = <span> <span> <span> 1.9722222222 </span> </span> </span>
when we determine the arc tangent of 1.9722222222, it will equal the Sun's angle.
arc tangent of 1.9722222222 = 63.113 degrees
