I am not sure if I am right, but this is the best I can answer.
Useing reason, and logic, my guess would be if you take 125, and divided it by 4, you would get 31.25. that should be the answer... if i am wrong, i am truely sorry. I havent been in the subject in a while...
Hope this helps.
83deg is the value of angle x. Thanks!
Answer:
(a)80 feet
(b)$120,000
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>
<u>Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem</u>
If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.
In the attached diagram, the theorem applied is:
Comparing with our diagram:
|AX|=30 feet
|UX|=10 feet
Length of the Bridge,L
Therefore:
900=10(L+10)
L+10=900/10
L+10=90
L=90-10=80 feet
Length of the Bridge=80 feet
<u>Part B</u>
If each foot costs $1500
Cost of the bridge=$1500*80=$120,000
Your answer is B) -5/6.
We can find this using the formula (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) and substitute in the coordinates:
(-2 - 3)/(5 - -1) = -5/6
I hope this helps!
