Math help pls

Answer 1

@Narad

Answer 2

The distance from a point outside a circle to the points of intersection of the tangents to the circle are equal. Go around the pentagon and calculate the lengths of the tangents. The last tangent will give you an equation.

Answer 3

@Narad the last tangent is VR=12?

Answer 4

The one on the left is (12-x)

Answer 5

so, what is x?

Answer 6

Go around the pentagon anticlockwise and calculate the length of each tangent in terms of x

Answer 7

9,15,12,8, if added, equals 44

Answer 8

No, you don't add, calculate the length of each portion of tangent to the circle. On the top, you have 2 tangents of length x.

Answer 9

@Narad 5?

Answer 10

No, if go around the pentagon, this won't fit

Answer 11

2?
