Which geometric shape can be described as a fixed distance along a line?

1 answer:

3 0

Hey there!

A fixed distance along a line without any 2nd dimension is a line segment. The reason why it's a line segment instead of a line is that lines go on forever in both directions while a line segment stops at some point on both ends. This is what the problems means when it says "fixed distance".

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Which of these tools or constructions is used to inscribe a hexagon inside a circle?

Mariulka [41]

The answer is a) equilateral triangle. If you want to inscribe a hexagon inside a circle, the tools or constructions that should be used is 6 equilateral triangles. If you draw a hexagon inscribed in a circle and draw radii to the corners of the hexagon, you will create triangles, six of them.

Answer:

so to get a third you divide it by 3

first convert it to fraction

so it is 26/3

so do 26/3 divided by 3

so we do keep switch flip

26/3*1/3

so answer is 26/9 or 2 8/9

Answer:

A 90

Step-by-step explanation:

multiple ways to prove this.

e.g. since the angle between the two lines from the center of the circle to the 2 tangent touching points is 90 degrees (that is the meaning of these 90 degrees here as the angle of the circle segment defined by the 2 tangent touching points and the circle center), the tangents have the same "behavior" as tan and cot = the tangents at the norm circle at 0 and 90 degrees. they hit each other outside of the circle again at 90 degrees.

another way

imagine the two right triangles of the tangents crossing point to the circle center and the tangent/circle touching points.

the Hypotenuse of each triangle is cutting the 90 degree angle of the circle segment exactly in half (due to the symmetry principle). so the angle between radius side and Hypotenuse is 90/2 = 45 degrees.

that means also the angle of such a right triangle at the tangent crossing point is 45 degrees (as the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180, we have the remainder of 180 - 90 - 45 = 45 degrees).

the angles of both right triangles at that point are the same, and so we can add 45+45 = 90 degrees for the total angle at the tangent crossing point.
