What is the measure of SR?

RS = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Secant QU = internal secant segment PU + external secant segment PQ = 7 + 9 = 16

Secant QS = internal secant segment RS + external secant segment RQ = (3x - 5) + 8

To find the measure of RS, we need to find the value of x.

Thus, recall the "Two Secant Theorem"

According to the theorem,

(RS + RQ)*RQ = (PU + PQ)*PQ

Thus,

Subtract 24 from both sides

Divide both sides by 24

Plug in the value of x into (3x - 5) to find the measure of RS

RS = 3(5) - 5 = 15 - 7

RS = 8

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
