\text{We know that the tangent at any point on a circle is perpendicular}\\
\text{to the radius at that point.}\\
\\
\text{so first we find the equation of the line joining (0,0) and (3,4)}\\
\text{and then using the slope, we find the line perperndicular to it at (3,4)}\\
\\
\text{the equation of the line passing through (0,0) and (3,4) is}\\
\\
y-0=\frac{4-0}{3-0}(x-0)

\Rightarrow y=\frac{4}{3}x\\
\\
\text{so the slope of radius is }m=\frac{4}{3}.\\
\\
\text{we know that the product of the perpendicular lines is }-1. \\
\\
\text{so the slope of the perpendicular line would be}=-\frac{1}{4/3}=-\frac{3}{4}\\
\\
\text{So the equation of the tangent line has slope }-\frac{3}{4} \text{ and}\\
\text{passing through (3,4). so equation of tangent line is}

y-4=-\frac{3}{4}(x-3)\\
\\
\Rightarrow y-4=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{4}\\
\\
\Rightarrow y=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{4}+4\\
\\
\Rightarrow y=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9+16}{4}\\
\\
\text{so the equation of tangent line is:} y=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{25}{4}

1 cm<br> 2 cm<br> What is the area of the<br> composite figure?<br> cm<br> 8 cm
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Answer:Option D is correct.Step-by-step explanation:We are given with a solid figure with cuboid in base and square based pyramid in top.we have to find Surface of the figure.Surface Area = Curved surface ares of cuboid + area of base of cuboid + lateral surface area of pyramid.Length of the cuboid, l = 8 cmwidth of the cuboid , w = 8 cm height of the cuboid , h = 11 cm Lateral surface area of pyramid = 4 × Area of a triangle Base of triangle , b = length of cuboid = 8 cmHeight of the triangle ,H = 8 cmSurface Area = 2 × h × ( l+w ) + l × b + 4 × 1/2 × b × H                       = 2 × 11 × ( 8 + 8 ) + 8 × 8 + 2 × 8 × 8                       = 22 × 16 + 64 + 128                       = 352 + 192                       = 544 cm²Therefore, Option D is correct.
