The figure is missing so I attached a helping figure

Answer:

Line segment ST is congruent to line segment UT

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached figure

∵ ST and UT are tangents to circle K at points S and U

∵ SK and UK are radii in the circle K

- The tangent is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangent

∴ ST ⊥ KS ⇒ at point S

∴ m∠KST = 90°

∴ UT ⊥ KU ⇒ at point U

∴ m∠KUT = 90°

∴ m∠KST = m∠KUT

In the two triangles KST and KUT

∵ KS = KU ⇒ radii

∵ m∠KST = m∠KUT ⇒ proved

∵ KT is a common side in the two triangles

- That means the two triangles are congruent by HL postulate

    of congruence (hypotenuse and leg of right triangle)

∴ Δ KST ≅ KUT ⇒ HL postulate of congruence

- By using the result of congruence

∴ ST = UT

Line segment ST is congruent to line segment UT

In triangle NOP p equals 600 inches angle P equals 96° and angle N equals 64° what is the area of triangle NOP to the nearest 10
DochEvi [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  55,637.8 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find side n using the Law of Sines:

  n/sin(N) = p/sin(P)

  n = p(sin(N)/sin(P)) = 600·sin(64°)/sin(96°)

  n ≈ 542.246913 . . . . inches

The angle O is ...

  O = 180° -N -P = 180° -64° -96° = 20°

Then the area is ...

  A = 1/2·np·sin(O)

  A = (1/2)(542.246913 in)(600 in)·sin(20°) ≈ 55,637.81008 in²

The area of ∆NOP is about 55,637.8 in².
