Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The image below shows the relationship between secants chords and tangents.

Imagine that the letters in the image represent the numbers in the actually problem

E would equal 9

C would equal 12

and A would equal x

We would then use the same formula C² = E * ( E + A ) to solve for x , but once again instead of using letters we use the numbers in the problem

We would have 12² = 9( 9 + x )

we now solve for x

Step 1 simplify and distribute

12²=144

9 * 9 = 81

9 * x = 9x

we would then have 144 = 81 + 9x

step 2 subtract 81 from each side

144 - 81 = 63

81 - 81 cancels out

we now have 63 = 9x

step 3 divide each side by 9

63 / 9 = 7

9x / 9 = x

we're left with x = 7

Sue's teacher asked her to find 42.6 divided by ten to the power of two. How many places and in which direction should Sue move

algol [13]

Hey You!

Ten to the power of two = 100

So, when 42.6 is divided by 100, Sue should move the decimal 2 places to the left (before the 4).

42.6 ÷ 100 = 0.426

Alika [10]

x = ×-3/4

because you hace the variable x and you do not know the number of fruit snacks he ate and you need to have the same variables to properly find the answer.

Write an expression for the next 3 even numbers that are greater than P

Alisiya [41]

Every even number is 2 away from the last.
0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14...etc.

If we had an even number p, then the next three even numbers would be
p+2, p+4, and p+6.

<em>(If we had an odd number p, then the next three even numbers would be</em>
<em>p+1, p+3, and p+5. I'm not sure if p is even is implied in the question. Technically the answer would be p - p mod 2 + 2, where p is an interger...that gets into more technical function stuff, though.)</em>

2. In the triangle below, NE and KL are perpendicular bisectors. Knowing that the sum of interior angles in

Stells [14]

Answer:

a = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

In the given triangle,

NE and ML are the perpendicular bisectors of two sides of the triangle.

Therefore, m∠MEK = m∠MLK = 90°

Since, sum of interior angles of polygon KLME = 360°

m∠MEK + m∠MLK + m∠EML + m∠EKL = 360°

90° + 90° + 120° + a = 360°

a = 360° - 300°

a = 60°

15 POINT PLZ HELP ILL EVEN GIVE BRAINLEST !!!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE EVER AWNSERS THESE KIND OF QUSTIONS I POST!!!! SO PLZ HELP!!thanks

BARSIC [14]

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (2, 5) and (4, 10). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{10-5}{4-2}=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5$

This means that 2.5mm of rain falls every hour
