Combine points X and O to get segment XO and combine points Z and O to get segment ZO. Segments XO and ZO are radii of the given circle, then they are congruent. Thus, the triangle XOZ is isosceles, that gives you \angle OXZ\cong \angle OZX.

Since segments XY and YZ are tangent to the circle, then m\angle YXO=m\angle YZO=90^{\circ}.

Consider angles ∠ZXY and ∠XZY:

m\angle ZXY=m\angle OXY-m\angle OXZ,\\m\angle XZY=m\angle OZY-m\angle OZX.

Taking into account that

m\angle OXY=m\angle OZY,\\ m\angle OXZ=m\angle OZX,

you have

m\angle ZXY=m\angle XZY.

If twoo angles adjacent to the side are congruent, then this side is a base of isosceles triangle.

Answer: correct choice is B.

A number exceeds its four-sevenths by 18. Find the number.
Andru [333]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

4/7 of x

(4/7) × x

4x/7

As stated in the question:

x=4x/7+18

=x-4x/7=18

=(7x-4x)/7=18

=3x/7=18

3x= 18×17

3x= 126

x=126/3

x=42
