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

Using SOH CAH TOA

Sin =opposite/hypotenuse

that means opposite=2

Hypotenuse=3

Cos=Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Using Pythagorean theorem

Hyp^2=Opp^2 +Adj^2

3^2 =2^2+adj^2

9=4+adj^2

9-4=adj^2

5=adj^2

Taking the square root of both sides

√5=adj

:: cos=√5/3

Find the commission on a $1,250 sale with a commission rate of 5%.
Nana76 [90]
Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving 
<span>$62..50 </span>

<span>Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. </span>
<span>Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!</span>
