Help me please.

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

Questions here.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I want to say when you have a cone like that the two sides equal eacother

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So would you know how to set that up?

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

No could u help.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

What information do they give you about both sides on the cone part?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Let me give you on piece, one piece is 20 what is the other side of it?

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

6?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

What's the two prices of information they give you in the picture? Do you see the side where it says 20?

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

Yeah i do.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

What is the other side?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Okay, look at the cone part, you can do it :)

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

7x -1

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes!

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Now since it's a cone they are the same length so they equal eachother 7x-1=20 now we just need to solve for x

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So do you know what you need to do first think of backwards PEMDAS

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

Whats pemdas lol

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Parenthesis exponents multiplaction division addition subtraction

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Do it in that order except backwards

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So what do we have in this equation 7x-1=20

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

im not sure.

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

@Directrix

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Still need help?

Directrix (directrix):

@TylerMckinney16 If you are doing #3 the circle problem, then it appears the problem shows two tangents drawn to a circle from an outside point. The segments are not given to be tangents. If they are, then recall this theorem: Tangents drawn to a circle from an outside point are congruent. Solve for x: 7x - 1 = 20
