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.

What is the solution of the equation?<br> -39.75 = 7.5m
kolezko [41]

Answer:

m = -5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

-39.75 = 7.5m

Divide both sides by 7.5 to get m alone

-39.75/7.5 = 7.5m/7.5

-5.3 = m

Hope this helps:)

A cheetah can run at top speed for only about 20 seconds. If an antelope is too far away for a cheetah to catch it in 20 seconds
Lisa [10]
The friend would be incorrect. The antelope  running 60 feet per second will be safe if the cheetah running at 90 feet per second is 650 feet behind it. To prove this, we can calculate the time it takes for the cheetah to reach the initial position of the antelope which is 650 ft from its initial position. We do as follows:

time to reach 650 ft = 650 ft / 90 ft/s = 7.22 s

After 7.22 s, the antelope would be,

distance of the antelope = 60 ft /s (7.22 s) = 433.33 ft

It would be 433.33 ft away from its initial position. So, the cheetah would not be able to reach the antelope when it travels 650 ft.
