Answer:

  (a) 4

  (b) 2√3

  (c) 60°

  (d) 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The relationship between tangents and secants is ...

  CB^2 = CD·CA

Filling in the given values, we find ...

  CB^2 = 2·(2+6) = 16

  CB = √16 = 4

The length of BC is 4 units.

__

(b) Triangle ABC is a right triangle, so the sides of it satisfy the Pythagorean theorem.

  CA^2 = CB^2 +AB^2

  8^2 = 16 +AB^2

  AB = √48 = 4√3

The radius is half the length of AB, so the radius is 2√3.

__

(c) The measure of angle C can be determined from the cosine relation:

  cos(C) = CB/CA = 4/8 = 1/2

  C = arccos(1/2) = 60°

The measure of angle C is 60°.

__

(d) Arc AD is intercepted by angle ABD, which has the same measure as angle C. Hence the measure of arc AD is twice the measure of angle C.

The measure of arc AD is 120°.

LuckyWell [14K]
To triple this number, you can triple the whole number, triple the fraction, then add them together.

3*3=9
1/2*3=3/2 (or 1 1/2)

Add them together.

9+1 1/2= 10 1/2

Ally is making a scale diagram of her classroom. She uses a scale factor of 3 centimeters per foot to draw the diagram. The actu
Gnoma [55]
The area of the scale drawing would be 1080 square centimeters or (1080 cm^2). I got this answer through first finding the area of the classroom in feet (which is A= lw = [18][20] = 360 ft^2) and then I proceeded to converting it to centimeters via given scale factor (3 cm = 1 foot) and had the answer of 1080 centimeters squared.
