Question

In the figure below, B is the center of the circle, NL

32, OS = 3x - 2, RB = 26, and SB = 26. Find the value of
X.
​

Answer 1

X=12

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: x=12

Explanation:

OQ is equal to NL since both contain 90 degree angles and are intersected by a radius. Since OS is 3x-2 and NL is 32, then we need to find OQ and set it equal to NL. OS is half of OQ, so multiplying OS by 2 will get you OQ. 6x-4=32

That yields x=12.
