Answer:
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
10x-60=140
10x=140+60
10x=200
x=20
Join the centre O to the chord (let it be MN) & let OH be the perpendicular to the chord
OH bisects MN into 2 equal parts (each one is x/2)
OMH is a right triangle with one side =8, the second leg =x/2 & the hypotenuse = 12 (Radius)
Apply Pythagoras:
12² = 8² +(x/2)² ==>144=64 + x²/4 ==> x²=4(144-64) =320
x²=320==> x=√320 =17.88 ≈17.9
1 + 1 + 20 cents + 3 cents = $2.23
