Probably because it would cause chaos in the area on what to do for a solution.
Hey! I’ll be doing freshman geometry as welI next year! There’s three types of geometry from what I’ve been toId by my brother who’s currently a sophomore. It’s really simpIe once you learn it, it consists of shapes, sizes, and space! It’s easier than aIgebra so that’s a plus. I found a helpful geometry quizIet if you’d like to look over it. I’ll link it in the comments
Answer:
1. AB Is a tangent
2. AB is not a tangent
Explanation:
1. In the given figure
9.7^2 = 7.2^2 + 6.5^2
94.09 = 51.84+42.25
94.09 = 94.09
Hence, angle BAC is 90 degree.
Now any line that touches the circle at one point only and forms a 90 angle with the radius is a tangent
2. In the second figure
22^2 is not equal to 12^2 + 16^2
hence, AB is not a tangent
