Question

Please someone help me on 2 problems 25 points ya boy be struggling

Answer 1

All you need to know is that two tangents to a circle from the same point are equal one to the other so for the first problem you got 27=2x-7, solve that and you get 17. then in the second one you can get the left measurements of the triangle because of the tangents. you get TA=9, NG=7 and ER=5. add everything up to get 42 and that’s the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

6) x = 17 ft

7) 42 in

Step-by-step explanation:

6) length of the tangents are equal.

2x - 7 = 27

2x = 34

x = 17

7) if you draw a line from T passing through the centre of the circle, it will divide the triangle into two congruent triangles

Perimeter = 2(5+7+9) = 42 in
