Answer:

The two boards of equal length are 30 inches long, and the third board is 24 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the length of the board to inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so multiply 7 by 12:

7(12)

= 84

Let x represent the length of the two boards of equal length. The length of the third board can be represented by x - 6, since it is 6 inches shorter than the other two.

Create an equation to represent this and solve for x:

(x) + (x) + (x - 6) = 84

3x - 6 = 84

3x = 90

x = 30

So, the two boards of equal length are 30 inches long.

Subtract 6 from this to find the length of the third board:

30 - 6

= 24

The two boards of equal length are 30 inches long, and the third board is 24 inches long.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.The center of the circle is at O. Segment AB is tangent to circle O at point
IRISSAK [1]

Based on the tangent theorem, m∡ADO = 90°.

Based on the angles of intersecting chords theorem, m∡CGF = 1/2(mCF + mDE).

What is the Angles of Intersecting Chords Theorem?

The angles of intersecting chords theorem states that when two chords in a circle intersect, the angle formed inside the circle at the point of intersection has a measure that is half of the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs that are formed by the angle and its vertical angle.

<h3>What is the Tangent Theorem?</h3>

According to the tangent theorem, if a line is tangent to a circle, the segment forms a right angle at the point of tangency with the radius of the circle.

Since line AB is tangent to circle O at point D, therefore, based on the tangent theorem:

The measures of angle ADO = 90°

Chord CE and DF intersect in the circle, therefore, based on the angles of intersecting chords theorem:

The measure of CGF = 1/2(mCF + mDE).
