You don't say whether this is a right triangle or not.

Assuming it is a right triangle, then we use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:

(hypo) = (length of third side) = √(12^2 + 4^2) = √(144+16) = √160 = 4√10.

This is approx. 12.65 inches. Since this does not match any of the possible answer choices, we'll have to take a different approach to answering this question.

Given that 2 sides of the given triangle are 12 and 4 inches, respectively, we see that the 3rd side has to be longer than 8 inches; otherwise we'd have three line segments on the same line, not forming a triangle.

By this reasoning, 9 inches is the only possible answer that could be correct. With sides 12, 9 and 4 inches, the triangle would be obtuse and appear quite flat, but not be part of a straight line as with a third side of 8.

1. Find the value of x.<br><br> A. 90<br> B. 80<br> C. 60<br> D. 45
tia_tia [17]

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.

Answer:

x =60 ° angles on a straight line

y+25° =120° exterior angle of the triangle

y=120°-25°=95°

May I please get help with this. For I am confused as I have tried multiple times to get the correct answers but still could not
Goshia [24]

ANSWER

10.18

EXPLANATION

We want to approximate, using the ALEKS calculator, the value of:

\sqrt[]{103.7}

To do this, we input the radical and the number into the calculator. The result is:

10.18331969

Since we have to round the answer to the nearest hundredth, we will pick the number in the thousandths place value, which is 3.

This number is less than 5, so, we round it down to 0 and add it to the number in the hundredth place value, which is 8.

Hence, the answer is:

10.18
