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.

Julia collects colored beads for craft projects. Of julia's beads, 4/9 are silver, 1/5 are, gold and 1/4 are blue. The rest of t
klemol [59]

Answer:

19 red beads

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find a common denominator of 4/9, 1/5 and 1/4.

The common denominator is 180. Like in an expression, what we do to one side we have to do to the other.

Silver - 180/9 = 20 ; 20*4 = 80 so there are roughly 80 sliver beads.

Gold - 180/5 = 36 ; 36*1 = 36 so there are roughly 36 gold beads.

Blue - 180/4 = 45 ; 45*1 = 45 so there are roughly 56 blue beads.

180 - (silver+gold+blue) = red beads

180-161 = 19 red beads b/c ----->

80+36+45+19 = 180

Which of the following is not a tool for monitoring your finances?
Akimi4 [234]

You may want to take this question over to the business category though I believe the answer is C.

The others show how your money is moving, how it's being spent, where you plan on spending it, how much you save, etc. Wouldn't think liability is one of those.
