Answer:

The value of k is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio

When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)

According to this formula we find the value of k.

k = a/(a+b)

where a = 5

b = 3

Now plug the values in the formula:

k = 5/(5+3)

k = 5/8 ....

What is the length of CO?

Answer:

Pythagorean theorem, eh?

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to do this is use the radius-tangent angle theorem thing...

It states that, a radius that intersects a point of tangency(I think that's what it's called) is perpendicular to the tangent. Thus, CW is perpendicular to OW!

Thus, it forms a right triangle, where we can use Pythagorean Theorem!

If you don't know what it is, check the internet! It's pretty simple.

CW^2+OW^2=OC^2\\144+81=OC^2\\225=OC^2\\OC=15

So, there you go! Hope this helps!

NOTE: This answer was recently deleted for violating community guidelines, so I just re-uploaded it!(and edited it) So if you do need more help, do some research!
