Nuetrik [128]3 years ago

AC is a tangent so by definition, it touches the circle at exactly one point (point C) and forms a right angle at the tangency point. So angle ACO is 90 degrees

The remaining angle OAC must be 45 degrees because we need to have all three angles add to 180
45+45+90 = 90+90 = 180

Alternatively you can solve algebraically like so
(angle OAC) + (angle OCA) + (angle COA) = 180
(angle OAC) + (90 degrees) + (45 degrees) = 180
(angle OAC) + 90+45 = 180
(angle OAC) + 135 = 180
(angle OAC) + 135 - 135 = 180 - 135
angle OAC = 45 degrees

Side Note: Triangle OCA is an isosceles right triangle. It is of the template 45-45-90.

I need help with this question plzzz <br><br> Geometry
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

  • If the perimeter of a square measures 32 cm, each side measures 32/4= 8 cm, because all sides are equal.
  • The diagonal that passes through the center of the square divides the square into two triangles. The triangles are formed by a <u>hypotenuse </u>(the diagonal, which is k in this case), <u>and two sides,</u> that measure 8 cm each, in this case.
  • Because of Pythagoras' theorem, we know that the <u>lenght of the hypotenuse</u> (in this case the hypotenuse is k) equals the squared root of the sum of the squared sides, which in this case can be expressed as k=\sqrt{8^2+8^2} =\sqrt{64+64}=\sqrt{128}=11.31.
  • Then, k=11.31 cm.

Triangle EFG is dilated by a scale factor of 3 centered at (0, 1) to create triangle E'F'G'. Which statement is true about the d
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation (A)

The complete question related to this found on brainly (ID:16812154) is stated below:

Triangle EFG is dilated by a scale factor of 3 centered at (0, 1) to create triangle E'F'G'. Which statement is true about the dilation?

E(0,5) F(1,1) G(-2,1) H(0,1)

a) segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation.

b)The slope of segment EF is the same as the slope of segment E prime H prime.

c) segment E prime G prime will overlap segment EG. segment

d) EH ≅ segment E prime H prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

∆EFG = Original image

∆EFG is dilated to give ∆E'F'G'

∆E'F'G' = New image

Scale factor = 3

Center of dilation = (0,1) = H(0,1)

Coordinates ∆EFG : E(0,5) F(1,1) G(-2,1)

To determine the statement that is true about the dilation from the options,

First we would make a diagram on the coordinates of ∆EFG and center of dilation (H).

Find attached the diagram.

Length GF = 3unit

Length G'F' = 3×scale factor = 9unit

Length EH = 4unit

Length E'H' = 4×scale factor = 12unit

Then we would move 3units to the left on same line from G to get the coordinate of G'(mark the point).

Also move 3units to the right on same line from F to get the coordinate of F'(mark the point).

Both of these give length of G'F' = 9unit

Now move 8units to the top from E to get the coordinate of E'(mark the point).

From this you get length E'H' = 12unit

Draw lines connecting the three points to get ∆E'F'G'

See diagram for better understanding

From the diagram, EH and E'H' both pass through (0,1). The other options are wrong.

Therefore, Segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation (A)

What is mZG?<br>Enter your answer in the box. <br><br>FGH<br>(x-5)°<br>(3x+24)°<br>x°​
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The angle for G is 121°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that total angles in a triangle is 180° so in order to find the angle of G, first, you hav eto find the value of x :

x + (x - 5) + (3x + 25) = 180°

5x + 20° = 180°

5x = 160°

x = 32°

Next, you have to find the angle of G :

G = 3x + 25

G = 3(32) + 25

G = 96° + 25°

G = 121°
