Given AB =6 and BD =8, find the value of x

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Find AD by making a 90 degree triangle with segments AB and BD

a=6 b= 8 c= c

AD is = to 10- AD is also the radius of the circle. since x is also the radius of the circle, it is also 10

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
