1. **Problem 1:** Given a triangle inside a circle with sides 8.8, x, and radius 22.4, find the value of $x$ from options A) 5, B) 4.3, C) 4.4, D) 3.1.
2. **Step 1:** Use the Pythagorean theorem if the triangle is right-angled (common in circle radius problems): $$x^2 + 8.8^2 = 22.4^2$$
3. **Step 2:** Calculate squares: $$8.8^2 = 77.44$$ and $$22.4^2 = 501.76$$
4. **Step 3:** Substitute and solve for $x$: $$x^2 = 501.76 - 77.44 = 424.32$$
5. **Step 4:** Find $x$: $$x = \sqrt{424.32} \approx 20.6$$ which is not among the options, so check if the problem implies a different approach or if $x$ is a chord length or segment.
6. **Problem 2:** Given circle $O$ with chords $CD$ and $AB$, and angles $\angle AC$ and $\angle DB$, determine which statements are true:
- i. $CD = AB$
- ii. $m\angle AC = m\angle DB$
- iii. $m\angle DC = m\angle AB$
7. **Step 1:** In a circle, equal chords subtend equal angles at the center and are equal in length.
8. **Step 2:** If $CD = AB$ (i), then angles subtended by these chords are equal (ii).
9. **Step 3:** Angles $m\angle DC$ and $m\angle AB$ are not necessarily equal unless given.
10. **Answer:** Statements i and ii are true.
11. **Problem 3:** In circle $C$, chords $LM$ and $NP$ intersect. Given:
$$LM = 5x + 4$$
$$NP = 9x - 12$$
$$CN = 13$$
Find $CY$.
12. **Step 1:** Since $LM = NP$, set equal:
$$5x + 4 = 9x - 12$$
13. **Step 2:** Solve for $x$:
$$5x + 4 = 9x - 12 \Rightarrow 4 + 12 = 9x - 5x \Rightarrow 16 = 4x \Rightarrow x = 4$$
14. **Step 3:** Substitute $x=4$ back:
$$LM = 5(4) + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24$$
$$NP = 9(4) - 12 = 36 - 12 = 24$$
15. **Step 4:** Use the intersecting chords theorem: product of segments of one chord equals product of segments of the other.
If $CN = 13$, and $CY$ is unknown, then:
$$LM \times CY = NP \times CN$$
Assuming $LM$ and $NP$ are full chord lengths, and $CY$ is segment of $LM$ corresponding to $CN$ segment of $NP$.
16. **Step 5:** Without additional segment lengths, assume $CY = CN = 13$ (if $CY$ is equal to $CN$ by symmetry or problem context).
**Final answers:**
- Problem 1: None of the options match $x \approx 20.6$; recheck problem context.
- Problem 2: Statements i and ii are true.
- Problem 3: $x=4$, $LM=NP=24$, $CY$ depends on further info; if $CY=13$, then consistent.
