Given:
JK is tangent to a circle with center H
To find:
The length of HK.
Solution:
The image is attached below.
JK = 8 mi, HJ = 15 mi
JK is tangent to a circle.
The tangent is always perpendicular to the radius.
Therefore, m∠J = 90°
Using Pythagoras theorem:
HK² = JK² + HJ²
HK² = 8² + 15²
HK² = 64 + 225
HK² = 289
HK² = 17²
Taking square root on both sides.
HK = 17
The length of HK is 17 mi.

The gallon sizes and prices are given below:

Answer:
1. 350 + 25x = 35x + 200
2. 35x - 350 = 25x - 200
3. 350 - 35x = 200 + 25x
4. 200x - 350 = 25 + 35x

Answer:
median = 17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The median is the middle value of a data set arranged in ascending order. If there is not a middle value then the median is the average value of the numbers either side of the middle.
Data in ascending order is
8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21
The median is between 17 and 18, hence
median =
= 17.5
