x = 2
given 2 secants from an external point then
Then the product of the external part and the entire secant equals the product of the external part and the entire secant of the other secant.
3 ( 3 + 5 ) = 4 (4 + x )
3 × 8 = 4 ( 4 + x ) ⇒ 24 = 4 ( 4 + x )
divide both sides by 4
6 = 4 + x ⇒ x = 6 - 4 = 2
8 - 2 = 6
6 - 1 = 5
9 x 5 = 45
Since the triangle is equilateral, QR = RS = QS.
a. MS = (1/2)74
MS = 37
b. Half of the equilateral triangle makes a right triangle. Use Pythagorean Theorem to find QM.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
37^2 + b^2 = 74^2
1369 + b^2 = 5476
subtract 1369 from both sides
b^2 = 4107
take the square root if both sides
b = 64.1
QM = 64.1
The answer is 7/5 th. You can add fractions without first having a common denominator so you would change the 8's by multiplying it by 5 to get 40 and you would multiply the 5 by 8 to get 40 as well. And the rule whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top so whatever you multiplied 8 by do the same for the numerator and whatever you multiplied 5 by you do the same for the numerator. So your new equation would be (75/40+16/40)+(-35/40). you would then add the numerator's across to get 56 and the denominator would stay the same so the answer is 56/40. But you have to now simplify 56/40 down to 14/10 and then once more to 7/5 which is the final answer.
this answer is not possible there is no 3 in 9760
