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

A sparkling-water distributor wants to make up 200 gallons of sparkling water to sell for $5.00 per gallon. She wishes to mix th
Sedbober [7]
Assuming she make no profit and no loss from the business.

Let the number of gallons of the $8 grade water used be x, that of the $3 grade water, y, and that of the $4.50 grade water be z, then:

x + y + z = 200 . . . (1)
8x + 3y + 4.5z = 200(5) = 1,000 . . . (2)
z = 2y . . . (3)

Putting equation (3) into equations (1) and (2), we have:

x + y + 2y = 200
or x + 3y = 200 . . . (4)
and
8x + 3y + 4.5(2y) = 1000
or 8x + 3y + 9y = 1000
or 8x + 12y = 1000 . . . (5)

Multiplying equation (4) by 4, we have:
4x + 12y = 800 . . . (6)

Subtracting equation (6) from equation (5), we have:
4x = 200
or x = 200 / 4 = 50

Substituting for x into equation (4), we have:
50 + 3y = 200
or 3y = 200 - 50 = 150
or y = 150 / 3 = 50

Substituting for z into equation (3) gives:

z = 2(50) = 100

Therefore, 50 gallons each of the $8 grade water and the $3 grade water should be used and 100 gallons of the $4.50 grade water.
