As M is a point of tangency, KN and MN are perpendicular.
Therefore : KN² = KM² + MN²
(radius + NP)² = radius² + 336²
(radius + 294)² = radius² + 336²
radius² + 2*294*radius + 294² = radius² + 336²
588radius = 336² - 294²
radius = 26460/588
radius = 45

Hope that clear and helpful

balandron [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \dfrac{-5 - (-5)}{-3 - 10}$

$m = \dfrac{0}{-13}$

$m = 0$

On Martin's first stroke, his golf ball traveled 4/5 of the distance to the hole. On his second stroke, the ball traveled 79 met

Sav [38]

Answer:

0.395 kilometre

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On Martin's first stroke, his golf ball traveled 4/5 of the distance to the hole.

On his second stroke, the ball traveled 79 meters and went into the hole.

<u>Question asked:</u>

How many kilometres from the hole was Martin when he started?

<u>Solution:</u>

Let distance from Martin starting point to the hole in meters = $x$

On Martin's first stroke, ball traveled = $\frac{4}{5} \ of \ total \ distance\ to\ the\ hole$

$=\frac{4}{5} \times x=\frac{4x}{5}$

On his second stroke, the ball traveled and went to the hole = 79 meters

Total distance from starting point to the hole = Ball traveled from first stroke + Ball traveled from second stroke

$x=\frac{4x}{5} +79\\ \\ Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by \ \frac{4x}{5}\\ \\ x- \frac{4x}{5}= \frac{4x}{5}- \frac{4x}{5}+79\\ \\ \frac{5x-4x}{5} =79\\ \\ By \ cross\ multiplication\\ \\ x=79\times5\\ \\ x=395\ meters$
