In the diagram below find the value for x.

the answer is $42.96

step-by-step explanation:

twenty-six miles over two gallons because the proportion for the original 13 miles to one gallon would be written 13/1 and, doing the same thing to the top and bottom, i multiplied by 2 and got 26/2

place r′ so that qr′ is parallel to the tangent.

now we get that ∠r′py=∠pr′q, where y is on the tangent, on the opposite side of p from x.

also, because of the symmetry, ∠r′py=∠qpx.

finally, note that no matter where we place r, as long as it's on the correct arc, we have ∠prq=∠pr′q.

stringing all these equalities together, we end up with ∠prq=∠qpx.

this picture will show how its going to look like.
