Yes because you can't do 2 minus 4
So, these are actually pretty simple once you learn the equality used to solve for "x" and when to implement this method. You can use this equality to solve for a segment "x" anytime that two secant lines cutting through a circle come from the same point outside the circle.
Secant: by geometric definition is just a straight line that cuts a curve into multiple pieces.
I did one of them for you hopefully you can use my work for "a" to help you solve for "b".
For a. I got x=7.

Given - Length of the Rectangular Plot : 16 meters
Given - Width of the Rectangular Plot : 4 meters
We know that - Area of a Rectangle is given by : Length × Width
Area of the Rectangular plot = (16 × 4) m²
Area of the Rectangular plot = 64 m²
Given : Square plot and Rectangular plot have same Area
Area of Rectangular plot = Area of Square plot
Area of Square plot = 64 m²
We know that - Area of Square is given by : Side × Side
Side × Side = 64 m²
S² = 64 m²
S² = 8² m²
S = 8 m
<u>Answer</u> : One side of the Square Garden plot is 8 meter
To answer this first we set up a proportion and then solve. Lets do it:-

Cross Multiply:-
80 · 4 = 320
Divide:-
420 ÷ 12 = 60
So, 180 ears of corn are for
