I have a chords and arcs problem. A circle has two chords, chord AB and chord CD. The length of chord AB can be expressed as 3x, and the length of chordCD can be expressed as 2x + 5. Given that the arcs associated with chord AB and chord CD are congruent, what is thelength of chord AB?

Find the length of the third side of the triangle in terms of x. I am not sure how to do this problem because the third side of the triangle is assigned no value or variable.
I need to find the distance of y in the diagram. I've been told that the radius of the circle is 100ft and that the angle theta is 30 degrees. I'm having a hard time setting up my equation. I'm trying to use the pythagorean theorem though I can't find a way to make all of variables in terms of a single variable. Since I know that in a 30-60-90 triangle the hypotuse is equal to 2t, the medium length leg is equal to t(radical 3) and the smallest leg is "t," I've tried setting up the following t=(100+x)/2 for the hypotnuse and t=((14+b)(radical 3))/3 for the meduim length leg. Though, I can't put this into the pythagorean theorem and solve it because I still have two unknown variables. Am I setting the problem up right?
Dr. Dorothy Smith gave the students in her geometry class at the University of New Orleans the following question. Is it possible to construct a triangle such that the second angle of the triangle has a measure that is twice the measure of the first angle and the measure of the third angle is 5 times the measure of the first? If so, find the measure of each angle.
