A landscape architect is designing a public patch with two adjacent circular fountains. The walking paths are tangent to the fountains as shown the lengths are given. Find x and y.
Answer:
x=4
y=11
Step-by-step explanation:
you know that tangents drawn from same point are congruent
so
6.5x-4.5=5x+1.5
1.5x=6
x=4
4x-1=y
y=11
