Answer:

DC = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

radius = 3x

tangents to the circle = 12 + 5x and 8 + 7x

If you draw line from A to D, two right angle triangle will be form ADC and ADB

having radius  = 3x

<h3>By using pythagorus theorem</h3><h3>hypotenuse² = base² + height²</h3><h3 />

Since, both triangle share same hypotenuse AD

so,

<h3>     ΔADC                        ΔADB</h3><h3>base² + height² = base² + height²</h3><h3 />

3x² + (8 + 7x)² = 3x²  + (12 + 5x)²

3x² will be cancel out

(8 + 7x)² =  (12 + 5x)²

64 + 112x + 49x² = 144 + 120x + 25x²

rearranging like terms

49x²-25x² +112x - 120x + 64 -144 = 0

24x² - 8x - 80 = 0

(x- 2)(x + 5/3)

x = 2

x = -5/3 rejected as radius can't be negative

So,

length of radius = 3x = 6

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sorry but your missing the questions but I found a close answer! Let A be the number of cards Alan has B be the number of cards Bill has C be the number of cards Calvin has Alan had 11 less than 2 1/2 times the number of cards bill has. is 2.5 Alan is 2.5 of bill has minus 11 A=2.5B -11 Calvin has 1 more than 1 1/2 times the number of cards bill has. is 1.5 Calvin is 1.5 of bill has plus 1 C=1.5B + 1 Alan and Calvin have the same number of cards So A=C WE plug in A  and C equations and solve for B 2.5B -11 = 1.5B + 1 (subtract 1.5B on both sides) 1B -11 = 1 (Add 11 on both sides) B = 12 If Alan and Calvin have the same number of cards, the number bill has is 12 The number of cards Alan and Calvin each have is 19 Total cards = 12 + 19 + 19 = 50 If Alan, bill, and Calvin have all the cards in the deck then the deck has 50 cards.
