Answer:

1. x = 6    2. x = 9   3. x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use <u>Intersecting Secants Theorem</u>:

If two secant segments are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external secant segment is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external secant segment.

1.  AC and AD are secants that intersect at point A

So, AB x AC = AE x AD

         x x 15 = 6 x (6 + 9)

             15x = 90

                 x = 6

2.  KM and KN are secants that intersect at point K

So,  KL x KM = KO x KN

 10 x (10 + 8) = x x 20

              180 = 20x

                  x = 9

3.  IG and IF are secants that intersect at point I

So,  IH x IG = IJ x IF

       x x 39 = 9 x (9 + 4)

           39x = 117

               x = 3

5x+y=0 use the intercepts to graph the equation
IRINA_888 [86]
Y-intercept:  Let x = 0.  Result: 5x=0, and x= 0.  y-intercept is (0,0).
Similarly, x-int. is (0,0) (after going thru the same procedure:  set y=0 and find x)

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. In the equation√n+5
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

n = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of n is \sqrt{n + 5} - \sqrt{n - 10} = 1 and we have to solve it for n.

\sqrt{n + 5} - \sqrt{n - 10} = 1 ........... (1)

⇒ \frac{(n + 5) - (n - 10)}{\sqrt{n + 5} + \sqrt{n - 10}} = 1  

{Rationalizing the numerator}

⇒ \sqrt{n + 5} + \sqrt{n - 10} = 15 .............. (2)

Now, adding (1) and (2) we get

2\sqrt{n + 5} = 16

⇒ n + 5 = 64 {Squaring both sides}

⇒ n = 59 (Answer)

Are the two triangles similar? Explain your answer.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are  similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion  They  are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size

Triangle ABC  54 +68 +  58 = 180

Triangle EFG    68 +63 +49 = 180

In this case their corresponding angles are nor congruent
