Answer:

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles will be in same ratio.

$\dfrac{x}{x+18}=\dfrac{20}{28}$

Cross multiply

x*28 = 20*(x+18) {Use distributive method}

28x = 20x + 360

28x - 20x = 360

8x = 360

x = 360/8

x = 45

On the circle below, tangent line BC¯¯¯¯¯ is constructed by striking an arc from point D that intersects circle A at point B. Th

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{BD = 12\ units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB = 5 , then AE = 5 [Radii of the same circle]

So,

AC = AE + EC

AC = 8+5

AC = 13 units

Now, Using Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side i.e. BD because tangent strikes the circle at 90 degrees making the triangle a right angled triangle

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

Where c = AC , a = BD and b = AB

$13^2 = BD^2+5^2$

169 = BD² + 25

Subtracting 25 to both sides

169 - 25 = BD²

BD² = 144

Taking square root on both sides

BD = 12 units
