Given that segment AB is tangent to the circle shown in the diagram centered at point C, determine the value of x

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by applying Pythagoras theorem, since the segment AB is tangent to the circle(meaning that the point A is at 90 degree to the circle)

According to Pythagoras theorem "It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides".

given (as seen from the diagram)

x, hypotenuse= ?

opposite= 12

adjacent= 35

Applying Pythagoras theorem

Substituting our given data and solving for hpy we have

hence x= 37

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
