answer choices

A) 8.77
B) 4.40
C)5.38
D) 4.00

. Correct option C)5.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Find the value of x. O is the center of the circle. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.  picture is attached  . Let's find out:

In the given figure , Let's draw a line from center to the point where cord of length 8 unit is touching the circle or intersecting or , where this chord finishes . This line is radius of circle and is denoted by x , So now we have a right angle triangle with dimensions as :

By Pythagoras Theorem ,

Therefore , . Correct option C)5.38

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
