Number of pets and number of siblings
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
RT and GJ are chords that intersect at point H. If RH = 10 units, HT = 16 units, and GH = 8 units, what is the length of line segment HJ? 18 units 20 units 26 units 28 units
we know that
The <u><em>intersecting chords theorem</em></u> is a statement that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords within a circle. It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal
so
In this problem

substitute the given values

solve for HJ

Answer:
It is 91% more likely that the tree was atmost 500 yards from the river.
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We are given with distance and height of 100 young trees near a river.
From that table, in total there are 55 trees which grow more than 3 ft during the year.
And among those 55 trees, 50 trees are atmost 50 yards from river.
Hence it is ≈91% more likely that the tree was atmost 50 yards from the river.
Start by writing the system down, I will use
to represent 

Substitute the fact that
into the first equation to get,

Simplify into a quadratic form (
),

Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,

which then must factor into

And the solutions will be
.
Clearly for small coefficients like ours
, this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that
.
This fits the definition as
and
.
So as mentioned, solutions will equal to
but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form
.
To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.
So the solution pairs are
and
.
Hope this helps :)
