Question

Can someone help me find the length in this problem? Its between 22 and 23.

Answer 1

i'll have to checkout the theorem

PK^2 = the product of the other two segments

hold on a moment

Answer 2

PK^2 = PS.PT

Answer 3

20 times 6. or 20 plus 6 ?

Answer 4

right ganes has got it its times

Answer 5

20*6=1200

Answer 6

also PK^2 = PN * PM

so PN.PM = PS.PT

Answer 7

22* ?= 1200

Answer 8

i dont have pn

Answer 9

you have the wrong values

PS = 20 and PT = 26

Answer 10

20*26 = ?

Answer 11

520

Answer 12

right now
lets let PN = x
so PM = 22 + x

do u follow that?

Answer 13

yeah.. but how do i get x?

Answer 14

is my answer 22 or 23 is all im asking.. :/

Answer 15

PN . PM = x (x + 22) right

Answer 16

ive wasted 18 minutes on this problem alone. im going to have to move on now. thx for trying.

Answer 17

well another 3 minutes and we've done it

Answer 18

and learning how to do it is not a waste of time...

Answer 19

it should take less then 5 to do this problem. so yeah i would call it a waste. :/

Answer 20

Especially since i have about 10 more problems just like this.. i cant take 20 minutes to do each. thats insane/ thanks for trying again..

Answer 21

Once you know how to do it, it takes no time... how much time did u take learning walking when you're kid ? stop rushing ok...

Answer 22

x(x+22) = 520

x^2 + 22x - 520 = 0

x = 14.42

Answer 23

Ive tried for 4 years. I just give up. Sorry for being rude. But thanks.

Answer 24

* 14.32
