Answer:
B . Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: a tangent of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of a circle, forming a right angle at the point of tangency.
Therefore, if segment ST is tangent to circle P, it means that m<T = 90°, and ∆PST is a right triangle.
To know if ∆PST is a right triangle, the side lengths should satisfy the Pythagorean triple rule, which is:
c² = a² + b², where,
c = longest side (hypotenuse) = 37
a = 12
b = 35
Plug in the value
37² = 12² + 35²
1,369 = 1,369 (true)
Therefore we can conclude that ∆PST is a right triangle, this implies that m<T = 90°.
Thus, segment ST is a tangent to circle P.
Answer:
its A i believe so
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
108 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let circle A be the circle with the 62 yard diameter
Let circle B be the circle whose diameter we are trying to solve for.
- Externally tangent circles are circles which touch each other and share a common external tangent.
- Circle A has a tangent of 62 yards and thus a radius ( half the diameter) of 31 yards.
- The distance between the centers of the 2 circles is 85 yards. If you subtract the radius ( distance from the center of the circle to its circumference) of circle A then we'll only be left with the radius of circle B.
- 85 - 31= 54 yards which is the radius of circle B
- To get the diameter: 54 x 2 = 108 yards
The missing factor is (a -1) I believe. If you foil (5a + 9)(a - 1) you would get 5a^2 + 4a - 9.
