Alizard needs to stay a safe distance from a cactus. the diameter of the cactus is 14 inches. if the lizard is 8 inches from a point of tangency, find the direct distance between the lizard and the cactus (x). if necessary, round to the hundredths place.. a.. x = 3.63 in.. b.. x = 4.57 in.. c.. x = 7.26 in.. d.. x = 17.63 in..

△cde maps to △stu with the transformations (x, y) arrowright (x − 2, y − 2) arrowright (3x, 3y) arrowright (x, −y). if cd = a + 1, de = 2a − 1, st = 2b + 3 and tu = b + 6, find the values of a and b. the value of a is and the value of b is .
