Circle J is inscribed in isosceles trapezoid ABCD, as shown. Points E, F, G, and H are points of tangency. The length of AB is 1
0 cm. The length of DC is 20 cm. What is the length, in cm, of BC?
1 answer:
Answer:
15cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Theorem: All tangents to a circle from the same point are equal.
Sine E, F, G and H are points of Tangency, by the theorem above:
- EB=BF
- FC=GC
The diameter line EC divides the Isosceles Trapezoid into two equal parts.
Therefore:
- EB=10/2=5cm
- GC=20/2=10cm
We then have by the equality above that:
- BF=5cm
- FC=10cm
BC=BF+FC
=5+10
=15cm

Answer:
Option B and D are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A line passes through the points (2,4) and (5,6).
* Case 1:
If a line passes through the points (2, 4) and (5, 6)
Point slope intercept form:
for any two points and
then the general form for linear equations where m is the slope given by:
First calculate slope for the points (2, 4) and (5, 6);
then, by point slope intercept form;
* Case 2:
If a line passes through the points (5, 6) and (2, 4)
First calculate slope for the points (5, 6) and (2, 4);
then, by point slope intercept form;
Yes, the only equation of line from the given options which describes the given line are;
