Answer:

7. x=8

8. x=7

Explanation:

7. The segment marked 30 is bisected by the segment marked x. So, you have a right triangle with legs x and 15 and hypotenuse 17. The Pythagorean theorem applies:

x^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

x^2 = 289 -225 = 64

x = √64 = 8

__

8. The arc subtended by the chord x is 360° -230° -65° = 65°. Since this is the same measure as the arc subtended by the chord of length 7, x will also be of length 7.

___

In fact, this geometry is impossible. The combination of circle radius, arc measure, and chord length cannot be obtained all in the same circle. The answer you get will depend on how you work the problem.
