It would be an Isosceles triangle

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.

Suppose you are standing on the edge of a canyon that is 400 meters high, where two sides of the canyon are at the same height a
pogonyaev
Set up a right triangle. the height is one side of triangle, its length is 400.
The angle opposite to the 400 is 14.3 degrees. The adjacent side is distance across, "x"

Use tangent ratio
tan(14.3) = \frac{400}{x}

x  = \frac{400}{tan (14.3)}

a mechanic worked 20 hours. another mechanic worked 15 hours. together they charged a total of $1950. what was the rate charged
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: The mechanics both charged $70 and $45 per hour respectively

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by calling the mechanics hourly rates x and y respectively. So if one worked for 20 hours and charged 20 times x dollars, and the other one worked for 15 hours and charged 15 times y dollars, totalling 1950 dollars, we can write the following expression,

20x + 15y = 1950

Also, if the sum of the two rates was 115 dollars, that means for working for an hour only, they both would earn

x + y = 115

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations

20x + 15y = 1950 --------(1)

x + y = 115 ------------------(2)

We shall use the substitution method for this problem.

From equation (2), make x the subject of the equation

x = 115 - y

Substitute for the value of x into equation (1)

20(115 - y) + 15y = 1950

2300 - 20y + 15y = 1950

By collecting like terms we now have

2300 - 1950 = 20y - 15y

(Note that when a negative value crosses to the other side of the equation, it becomes a positive value and vice versa)

350 = 5y

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

70 = y

We now substitute for the value of y into equation (2)

x + y = 115

x + 70 = 115

Subtract 70 from both sides of the equation

x = 45.

Therefore, the rate they charged per hour were $45 and $70 respectively.

What are some of the reasons for Venus’s high temperatures?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, it heats up the surface of Venus. Most of this heat cannot escape back into space because it is blocked by the very thick atmosphere of Venus. The heat becomes trapped and builds up to extremely high temperatures
