The answer would be 6 inches!
We know that
A line tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius to the point of tangency.
so
<span>Line ef is </span>perpendicular to the segment gh
hence
Triangle FHG is a right triangle
<span>9r+7+3(8p+7r)+15
= </span><span>9r + 7 + 24p + 21r +15
= 24p + 30r + 22
hope it helps</span>
Part A) If would probably be smart to use substitution because y is already solved for, so we can substitute the value of y as a function of x into the other equation.
y=7x-8
y=5x-2
7x-8=5x-2
+8 +8
-----------------
7x=5x+6
-5x -5x
----------------
2x=6
/2 /2
-----------
x=3
y=7x-8
y=21-8
y=13
Part B) The lines will intersect at point (3, 13), because idk it just makes sense
