Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that 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.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) โข (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 โข x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = โโ = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
Rena is building a 1: 180 scale model of a real castle. her model has a rectangular base that is 3 feet wide and 4 feet long what is the area of the base of the actual castle in square feet
You and a friend went to the movies.you spent half your money on tickets. then you spent 1/4 of the money on popcorn, $2 on candy, and $3 on a soda. if you have $1 left, hiw much money did u take to the movies?
