The measure of AN form the given figure is 2. 5cm. Option D

<h3>How to determine the length</h3>

It is important to note that if from one external point, two tangents are drawn to a circle then they have equal tangent segments.

We have that,

AM ≅ AN

so, if AM measures 2. 5cm

AN measures 2. 5cm

Thus, the measure of AN form the given figure is 2. 5cm. Option D

How do you find ratio

Korvikt [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equal ratio, you can either multiply or divide each term in the ratio by the same number (but not zero). For example, if we divide both terms in the ratio 3:6 by the number three, then we get the equal ratio, 1:2.

40 points!!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{26}}{26}$

This is the square root of 26 over 26. The second 26 is not inside the square root. You can type it in as sqrt(26)/26.

========================================================

$\theta$ is in Q1 so $\sin(\theta) > 0$

Use the trig identity below and plug in the given value to get...

$\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos(x)}{2}}\\\\\sin\left(\frac{2\theta}{2}\right) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos(2\theta)}{2}}\\\\\sin(\theta) = \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos(2\theta)}{2}} \ \ \text{since } \ \sin(\theta) > 0\\\\\sin(\theta) = \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{12}{13}}{2}}\\\\$

$\sin(\theta) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{26}}\\\\\sin(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{26}}\\\\\sin(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{26}}\\\\\sin(\theta) = \frac{1*\sqrt{26}}{\sqrt{26}*\sqrt{26}} \ \ \text{ rationalizing denominator}\\\\\sin(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{26}}{26}\\\\$

------------------------------

Edit:

To find cos(theta), we use the pythagorean identity below

$\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1\\\\\cos^2(\theta) = 1-\sin^2(\theta)\\\\\cos(\theta) = \sqrt{1-\sin^2(\theta)}\ \ \text{cosine is positive in Q1}\\\\\cos(\theta) = \sqrt{1-\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{26}}\right)^2}\\\\\cos(\theta) = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{26}}\\\\\cos(\theta) = \sqrt{\frac{25}{26}}\\\\\cos(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{26}}\\\\\cos(\theta) = \frac{5}{\sqrt{26}}\\\\\cos(\theta) = \frac{5\sqrt{26}}{\sqrt{26}*\sqrt{26}}\\\\\cos(\theta) = \frac{5\sqrt{26}}{26}\\\\$
