Given the radius r and the tangent line AB, the length of the line OA is 24 units
<h3>How to determine the length OA?</h3>
The radius r and the tangent line AB meet at a right angle.
By Pythagoras theorem, we have:
AB² = OA² + r²
So, we have:
24² = OA² + 7²
Rewrite as:
OA² = 24² - 7²
Evaluate
OA² = 527
Take the square root of both sides
OA = 23
Hence, the length of OA is 24 units

Answer:
I think the answer you have is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
45°
Step-by-step explanation:
The hour hand makes a trip of 360° around the face of the clock in 12 hours, so in 4.5 hours will make an angle of ...
... (4.5/12)·360° = 135°
clockwise from straight up.
The minute hand makes that 360° turn in 1 hour, so in 30 minutes, it will be 180° clockwise from straight up.
The difference between the angles of the hands is ...
... 180° -135° = 45°
