<h2>Answer:</h2>

B. 3

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

A tangent is a line that passes through exactly one point on a circle. For any point on a circle, the radius and tangent line through that point are always perpendicular to each other making a right angle. If two triangles touch each other externally, then there will be 3 lines making right angle with radius of the circles at the point of intersection of circle and tangents. These three tangent lines are shown below. They are the black, blue and green ones.

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image two circles such as circle A externally tangent to circle B. We are asked to find the number of possible common tangents to circles A and B.  

We know that tangent of a circle is a line that touches circle exactly at one place.

We can see both triangles touch each other externally. We know that maximum 3 common tangents can be drawn two two circles, when they touch each other externally.

Therefore, the answer of our given problem is 3 and option B is the correct choice.

Can You Help Me With numbers 6-8
k0ka [10]

Hello,

Your answers and explanations are below.

6 - 5xy

5 times the product of x and y. The product of x and y means to multiply. That is where we get this: xy. 5 times that product is where we add 5 to it and get this: 5xy.


7 - 4x

We get this because we know he gets $4 an hour. We just do not know how many hours he babysat. The hours is X and we multiply that by 4.


8 - 5.5

Take 8.3 and subtract 2.8 to find x. Once we do that we get 5.5, and that is X.


9 - We can't see the problem. It's cut off

Good Luck,

- I.A. -
