Answer:

(B) Segments MA and MB

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent to the circle at a point is perpendicular to the radius of the circle drawn to the point of tangency.

Tangent at a point is unique.

Since there can be no two tangents at a point on circle, the options (b) and (c) are ruled out.

Now, if OA is perpendicular to MA, MA is the tangent else if OA is perpendicular to PA, PA is the tangent. Same is the case with point B.

Tangents from the same external point has same length.

MA = MB since they are the radii of the same circle with center M.

Hence, MA and MB meet all the requirements of the tangents.

What is the approximate perimeter of a semicircle with a radius of 8 m? Use pi star times = 3.14. Express your final answer to t
irga5000 [103]
The perimeter of a semicircle consists of two parts. (the curve and bottom)
That curve is half the distance around the circle, since it's been split in half.
The distance around a circle, the circumfrence, is equal to 2πr, where r is the radius of that circle. In this case, the circumfrence of the entire circle would be 16π. and so that curve would have a length of just 8π.
Using 3.14 for π, 8π = 8×3.14 = 25.12.
As for the flat part, that is the diameter (distance across) our circle.
The radius is the distance from the center of a circle to its edge, and always has half the length of the diameter. (you can break the diameter down into two radii)
If our radius is 8 meters, our diameter (the flat part of that semicircle) must be 16.
Now we add up the two parts of the perimeter...25.12 + 16 = 41.12.

Ebony earned scores of 72 70, 81, 99, and 88 on five math tests. Determine her
Minchanka [31]

Let it be x

\boxed{\sf Average=\dfrac{Sum\:of\:terms}{No\:of\:terms}}

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{72+70+81+99+88+x}{6}=83

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{410+x}{6}=83

\\ \sf\longmapsto 410+x=498

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=498-410

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=88
