TANGENT LINES FIND PERIMETER

Mathematics

There is a theorem that says that, two tangent lines onto a circle that start from the same point are equal. For example, if we were to label the polygon ABCD, the tangent lines going from point A are equal, the lines going from point B are equal, etc.

Since we now know this rule, we can see that, for each point of the polygon you are given 1 out of 2 tangent lines for that point. Using this theorem, we can say that the other tangent line is equal to the first.

So, the bottom two tangents are 98 and 98, the right-side are both 22 and 22, the top are both 27 and 27, and the left are 22 and 22. We need to find the perimeter, or the sum of all the sides of the polygon. Seeing as the sides of the polygon are formed by all the tangent lines, we just have to find the sum of all the tangent lines.

98 + 98 + 22 + 22 + 27 + 27 + 22 + 22 =
= 196 + 88 + 54 (or 2*98 + 4*22 + 2+27) =
= 338 inches

I hope this wasnt too confusing.

balandron [24]

Answer:

=  \frac{\sin(2 \alpha )  +  \cos(2 \alpha )  -  \cos(6 \alpha ) }{ \sin(4 \alpha )  + 2 { \sin }^{2}  \alpha  - 1}  \\  =  \frac{ \sin( - 270) +  \cos( - 270)  -  \cos( - 810)  }{ \sin( - 540)  + 2 { \sin }^{2}( - 135) - 1 }  \\  =  \frac{1}{ - 2}  \\  =  - 0.5

Circle O and triangle OQR are shown below. What is the length of OQ?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle PQR with centre O. If angle OQR = 30°, what is the perimeter of the triangle?

This is a circle inscribed in an equilateral triangle with side s.

If you are asking for the perimeter of PQR, it is 3s.

If you are asking for the perimeter of OQR, it is (3+23–√3)s

Since OR and SR are the hypotenuses of right triangles with adjacent side equal to ½ s, their length is ½s / cos 30° = (√3) /3.

(3/3)s + ((√3) /3)s + ((√3) /3)s = ((3 + 2√3)/3)s ≈ 2.1547s

Hope it helps

Answer:

81 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

If the box is sliding at 27 m per second, and it's been sliding for 3 seconds, then you should multiply 3 × 27 and your answer would be 81 m/s

Can someone please explain to me how "lines and intercepts" work? I am extremely confuzled :/ Please help
anastassius [24]

Answer in explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

for each row, the y- coordinate of the point where the line crosses the x- axis is zero. The point where the line crosses the x- axis has the form (a,0) ; and is called the x-intercept of the line. The x- intercept occurs when y is zero. Now, let's look at the points where these lines cross the y-axis
