<u>Given</u>:

Given that AB is a tangent to circle C.

The length of AB is (2r -1)

The length of AC is (r + 1) + r

The length of BC is r.

We need to determine the circumference of the circle C.

<u>Value of r:</u>

The value of r can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem.

Thus, we have;

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

Substituting the values, we have;

[(r+1)+r]^2=(2r-1)^2+r^2

Simplifying, we have;

(2r+1)^2=(2r-1)^2+r^2

Expanding the terms, we get;

4r^2+4r+1=4r^2-4r+1+r^2

4r^2+4r+1=5r^2-4r+1

Simplifying the values, we have;

4r=-4r+r^2

Adding both sides of the equation by 4r, we get;

8r=r^2

 0=r^2-8r

 0=r(r-8)

Thus, r=0 \ or \ r=8

Since, the radius of the circle cannot be 0.

Hence, the radius of the circle is 8.

<u>Circumference of the circle:</u>

The circumference of the circle can be determined using the formula,

C=2 \pi r

Substituting r = 8, we get;

C=2 \pi (8)

C=16 \pi

Thus, the circumference of the circle is 16π

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.

A 100 - foot fence is used to enclose a rectangular land plot. If the area of the land plot is 456 square feet, which equation c
quester [9]

Answer:

x^2-50x+456=0

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A 100\text{ foot} fence is used to enclose a rectangular land plot. If the area of the land plot is 456\text{ feet}^2.

TO FIND: equation to determine the length x of the land plot.

SOLUTION:

total length of fence =100\text{ foot}

let the width of land plot be y

perimeter of plot =2(x+y)=100

                            x+y=50

area of rectangular plot =\text{length}\times\text{breadth}

                                       xy=456

                                      y=\frac{456}{x}

putting value of y

x+\frac{456}{x}=50

x^2-50x+456=0

Hence required equation to get length x of land plot is x^2-50x+456=0

on solving

x=38,12

possible length of land plot is 38\text{ foot} and 12\text{ foot}
