I need help with this geometry question

Mathematics

UNO [17]1 year ago

Answer:

radius ≈ 15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius is RS

the angle between a tangent and the radius at the point of contact is 90°

then Δ RST is a right triangle

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , then

RS² + ST² = RT² ( substitute values )

RS² + 7² = 17²

RS² + 49 = 289 ( subtract 49 from both sides )

RS² = 240 ( take square root of both sides )

RS = \sqrt{240} ≈ 15.5 ( to 1 dec. place )

Find the height of a triangle with area = 110 ft squared and base = 10ft
maria [59]
Well to find the are of a triangle is like finding the are of a rectangle but in half so multiply 110 by 2 to get the original answer before it was divided by 2:

110×2=220

now we need to find out how many 10 are in 220:

220÷10=22

so the height of the triangle would be 22 ft

hope this helped
