Three circles can intersect in?
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(a) two points
Step-by-step explanation:
The curve of a circle can only intersect another circle at a point or in an arc. The intersection will only be an arc if the circles have the same center and radius (are the same circle).
Different circles can only intersect each other at one or two points. Three different circles can intersect in one or two points. The 2-point case is shown in the attachment.

Answer:
The value of x is 4.
Given that diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet as shown in the attached figure.
The diagonal of a rectangle is a line or straight line that connects the opposite corners or vertices of the rectangle.
In the given figure ABCD is a rectangle.
OA=2x+1 and OD=x+5 [Given]
AC and BD are diagonals of a rectangle.
As we know that the diagonals of a rectangle are always equal.
So, AC = BD
We can also write it as,
2×OA=2×OD
2×(2x+1) =2×(x+5)
Apply the distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac, we get
4x+2=2x+10
Subtract 2x from both sides, we get
4x+2-2x=2x+10-2x
2x+2=10
Subtract 2 from both sides, we get
2x+2-2=10-2
2x=8
Divide both sides by 2, we get
2x/x=8/2
x=4
Hence, the value of x=4 when diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet.
