Answer:
AB + BC = AC
BC = AC - AB
5x + 6 = 37 - (2 x + 3) = 37 -2 x - 3 = 34 - 2 x
7 x = 34 - 6 = 28
x = 4
BC = 5 x + 6 = 5 * 4 + 6 = 26
Check:
AB = 2 x + 3 = 2 * 4 + 3 = 11
AB + BC = 26 + 11 = 37
It depends on where you are....
Answer:
B . Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: a tangent of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of a circle, forming a right angle at the point of tangency.
Therefore, if segment ST is tangent to circle P, it means that m<T = 90°, and ∆PST is a right triangle.
To know if ∆PST is a right triangle, the side lengths should satisfy the Pythagorean triple rule, which is:
c² = a² + b², where,
c = longest side (hypotenuse) = 37
a = 12
b = 35
Plug in the value
37² = 12² + 35²
1,369 = 1,369 (true)
Therefore we can conclude that ∆PST is a right triangle, this implies that m<T = 90°.
Thus, segment ST is a tangent to circle P.
To ease your problem, consider "L" as you x-axis
Then the coordinate become:
A(- 4 , 3) and B(1 , 2) [you notice that just the y's changed]
This is a reflection problem.
Reflect point B across the river line "L" to get B', symmetric of B about L.
The coordinates of B'(1 , -1) [remember L is our new x-axis]
JOIN A to B' . AB' intersect L, say in H
We have to find the shortest way such that AH + HB = shortest.
But HB = HB' (symmetry about L) , then I can write instead of
AH + HB →→ AH + HB'. This is the shortest since the shortest distance between 2 points is the straight line and H is the point requiered
If you take 31*5 that equals = 155 ways! <span />
