we know that

if the line segment KL is tangent to circle J at point K

then

KL is perpendicular to KJ

the triangle KJL is a right triangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

LJ^{2} =KL^{2}+KJ^{2}

we have

KL=24\ units\\KJ=r\ units\\JL=(16+r)\ units

substitute the values

(16+r)^{2} =24^{2}+r^{2}\\256+32r+ r^{2}=576+ r^{2} \\32r=576-256 \\r= 320/32\\r=10\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

10\ units

without actually performing the long division state whether 17 / 3125 will have a terminating decimal expansion or a non-termina
baherus [9]

Answer:

It is terminating decimal expansion.

Step-by-step explanation:

17/3125 is a terminating decimal expansion.

REASON:

If the factors of the denominator are in the form of 2^n 5^m then the rational number is a terminating decimal expansion otherwise it is recurring. Here n and m are non negative integers.

Proof:

Lets have a look on the solution of the given term.

17/1325

We will break the denominator in the factors:

If we multiply 5 five times than it will give us 1325.

17/1325 = 17/5^5 * 2^0 = 17/2^0 * 5^5

We know that any number with exponent zero = 1

∴ 2^0 = 1

So it satisfies our explanation that the factors of the denominator are in the form of 2^n * 5^m and n and m are non negative integers.

Thus this term has a terminating decimal expansion....

-10 + 15xy = 20 Direct and inverse variation. constant of variation (k)​
lozanna [386]

Answer:

This is an inverse variation, and the constant of variation is k = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is something like:

y = k*x

Where k is the constant of variation.

So as x increases also increases y.

Inverse variation is something like:

y = k/x

k is the constant of variation.

In this case, if x increases, y decreases.

Now let's look at the equation:

-10 + 15*x*y = 20

Let's isolate y in one side of the equation:

15*x*y = 20 + 10 = 30

15*x*y = 30

y = 30/(15*x) = (30/15)/x = 2/x

y = 2/x

Then we can conclude that this is an inverse variation, with a constant of variation equal to 2.

Which is the sum of the interior angles of an octagon?
cupoosta [38]
To find the sum of interior angles, subtract 2 by the number of sides and then multiply the difference by 180.

180 (8-2) = 180(6) = 1080.

1080 is the sum of the interior angles of an octagon

Hope this helps :)

Tell weather the two rates form a proportion. help
Sindrei [870]
7/9 = 42/54...when 42/54 reduces, it becomes 7/9...so this is proportional because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions.

u could also check it this way...
12/21 = 15/24
cross multiply
(21)(15) = (12)(24)
315 = 288.....these do not equal and are therefore, not proportionate

440/4 = 300/3
110 = 100....not equal, so not proportionate

120/5 = 88/4
24 = 22.....not proportionate

66/82 = 99/123
0.804 = 0.804.......these are proportional

68/172 = 43/123
0.395 = 0.349......nope, not proportional
