Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Check attachment for diagram,

Since line AB is tangent to the circle then, <OAB is a right angle,

Then, we can apply Pythagoras theorem to the right angle triangle,

NOTE: from the centre of the circle to the tangent point at A is the radius of the circle,

And also, the total length of OB is

OB = r + 15

Then, applying Pythagorean theorem

OB² = OA² + AB²

(r+15)² = r² + 25²

(r+15)(r+15) = r² + 625

r² + 15r + 15r + 225 = r² + 625

Collect like terms

r² + 30r - r² = 625 - 225

30r = 400

Divide both sides by 30

r = 400 / 30

r = 13.33

So, the diameter of the circle is related to the radius by the relation

Diameter = 2 × radius

d = 2 × r

d = 2 × 13.33

d = 26.67

To the nearest tenth implies that to 1d•p

d ≈ 26.7

So, the diameter of the circle is 26.7

Which ordered pair in the form (a, b) is a solution of this equation?
Evgen [1.6K]

3a - 4b = 21


check (-2 , -3)


3(-2) -4(-3) =21


-6 +12  = 21


6 does not = 21  so NO


check (0 , 7)


3(0) -4(7) =21


0-28=21


-28 does not equal 21  so NO


check (-3 , -2)


3(-3) -4(-2) =21


-9 +8  = 21


1 does not = 21  so NO


check (7 , 0)


3(7) -4(0) =21


21  = 21

Choice D
