All tangents to the circle are congruent and form a square. the perimeter of square aceg is 24 cm. a circle is inscribed in squa
1 answer:
The length of line segment bc is 3 cm. Thus, the correct option is B.
<h3>What is a perimeter?</h3>Perimeter is the sum of the length of the sides used to make the given figure.
Since ACEG is a square and the perimeter of the square is 24 cm, therefore, the length of the side of the square is 6 cm.
Now, since the circle is inscribed in the square, therefore, each side of the circle will be divided into two equal parts by the circle. Thus, the value of BC is half the length of the side of the square.
BC = AC /2 = 6cm /2 = 3 cm
Hence, the length of line segment bc is 3 cm. Thus, the correct option is B.

Given that line that passes through the point (1, -3) and that is parallel to the line with the equation
We have to find equation of line
<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>
y = mx + c
Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y-intercept
Let us first find slope of line containing equation
Rearrange the above equation into slope intercept form
On comparing the above equation with slope intercept form y = mx + c,
So the slope of line containing equation is
We know that slopes of parallel lines are equal
So the slope of line parallel to line having above equation is also
<em><u>Now let us find the equation of line having slope m = 3/4 and passes through point (1 , -3)</u></em>
Substitute and (x, y) = (1 , -3) in slope intercept form
y = mx + c
<em><u>Thus the required equation of line is:</u></em>
substitute and
in slope intercept form
Thus the equation of line is found out
