There are two circles with center  A and D. The tangent line touches both point B and C. The given measurements are enough to solve for the missing value and the solution is shown below:
AB=9
BC=26
DC=8
Solve for the measurement of AC which the hypotenuse of legs AB and BC by Pythagorean theorem:
c²=a²+b²
c²=9²+26²
c=AC=27.51
Solve for angle of A 
sin A=26/27.51
A=70.93° 
Finally, we solve for the length of AD using SOH
sin 70.93°=AD/27.51
AD=26
The answer is 26.

The weight of mr nazeer is 7 times that of his son. What's the ratio of their weights?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

<h3>7:1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of mr nazeer be x

Let the weight of his son be y

If the weight of mr nazeer is 7 times that of his son, then x = 7y

To get the ratio of their weight:

Ratio = weight of father/weight of son

Ratio = 7y/y

Ratio = 7/1

Ratio = 7:1

Hence the ratio of their weights is 7:1
