Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find m∠B and m∠C by solving for x. Since the sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180°, we know that:

60 + 3x - 2 + 2x + 7 = 180

5x + 65 = 180

5x = 115

x = 23° so m∠B = 3(23) - 2 = 67° and m∠C = 2(23) + 7 = 53°. The longest side of a triangle is always opposite to the largest angle of the triangle, and since m∠B is the largest, we know that the side opposite to ∠B is the longest. That side is AC.

Find the length of the tangent segment AB to the circles centered at O and O' whose radii are a and b respectively when the circ

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$AB=2\sqrt{ab}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From figure,

$OA=a, \quad \quad O'B=b\\\Rightarrow OO'= (a+b) \quad \quad \text{and}\quad OD=(a-b)$

In triangle $OO'D$

$(OO')^2=(OD)^2+(O' D)^2$

$\Rightarrow (a+b)^2=(a-b)^2+(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow 4ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow O'D=2\sqrt{ab} \\\Rightarrow O' D=2\sqrt{ab}=AB \quad \quad [\because O' DAB\;\; \text{is a rectangle.}]$

Hence, $AB=2\sqrt{ab}$

Based on its degree, what kind of polynomial is this?<br> h(x) = 4x^4 + 2x - 5

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Quartic

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h(x) = 4x^4 + 2x - 5$

Required

Name the polynomial

The question required that the polynomial be named based on its degree.

This implies that, we name the polynomial based on the highest power of x

Highest power of x = 4

When the highest power of x in a polynomial is 4, such polynomial is a quartic polynomial.

Hence, by degree; the polynomial is quartic

Find the perimeter<br> Please answer<br> HS geometry

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Hey boss man, just add up all the sides! For example, just add 3.9+3.9+3.9! and if there is a line in the middle of a certain side, it means that it is congruent or the same as another side with a dash. For example, with number 2, the side without a measurement is congruent with the the side with measurement of 7mm! Hope this helps! You got this! :)
