The circle is inscribed in triangle PRT. A circle is inscribed in triangle P R T. Points Q, S, and U of the circle are on the si

des of the triangle. Point Q is on side P R, point S is on side R T, and point U is on side P T. The length of R S is 5, the length of P U is 8, and the length of U T is 6. Which statements about the figure are true? Select two options. The perimeter of the triangle is 19 units. TU ≅ TS PU ≅ TU The length of line segment PR is 13 units. The length of line segment TR is 10 units.

Answer:

<u>The true statements are:</u>

TU ≅ TS

The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

As shown, The circle is inscribed in triangle PRT.

There are 2 segments tangents to the circle from point P ⇒ PQ , PU

There are 2 segments tangents to the circle from point R ⇒ RQ , RS

There are 2 segments tangents to the circle from point T ⇒ TS , TU

The length of RS is 5, the length of PU is 8, and the length of UT is 6.

So, RS = RQ = 5 , PU = PQ = 8 , TU = TS = 6

We will check the options:

(1) The perimeter of the triangle is 19 units. ⇒ Wrong

Because: The perimeter of the triangle is 38 units.

The perimeter of the triangle = PR+RT+TP = (PQ+QR)+(RS+ST)+(TU+UP)=38

(2) TU ≅ TS ⇒ True

Because: TS , TU are tangents to the circle from point T

(3) PU ≅ TU ⇒ Wrong

Because: PU = 8 and TU = 6

(4) The length of line segment PR is 13 units. ⇒ True

Because: PR = PQ + QR = 8 + 5 = 13 units

(5) The length of line segment TR is 10 units. ⇒ Wrong

Because: TR = TS + SR = 6 + 5 = 11

<u>The true statements are:</u>

TU ≅ TS

The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Answer:

<u>He sold 80% of the tickets.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 16 and 20, you get 0.8 and multiply that by 100, you get 80%.

What is the explicit formula for this sequence?

ddd [48]

Answer:

$a_n=-7+4(n-1)$

or

$a_n=-7+(n-1)(4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

-7,-3,1,5,... is a arithmetic sequence.

Arithmetic sequences have a common difference. That is, it is going up by 4 each time.

When you see arithmetic sequence, you should think linear equation.

The point-slope form of a line is $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ .

m is the common difference, the slope.

Any they are using the point at x=1 in the point slope form. So they are using (1,-7).

So let's put this into our point-slope form:

$y-(-7)=4(x-1)$

$y+7=4(x-1)$

Subtract 7 on both sides:

$y=-7+4(x-1)$

So your answer is

$a_n=-7+4(n-1)$

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

DochEvi [55]

Answer: $\bold{a_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\qquad a_n=\bigg(\dfrac{4}{3}\bigg)a_{n-1}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The explicit rule for a geometric sequence is: $a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}\quad \text{where}\ a_1\ \text{is the first term and r is the common ratio}$

$\text{From the explicit rule provided:}\ a_n=\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(\dfrac{4}{3}\bigg)^{n-1}}\\ \text{we know that}\ a_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{and r =} \dfrac{4}{3}$

$\text{The recursive rule for a geometric sequence is:}\ a_n = (r)a_{n-1} \\\\\text{So, the recursive rule is:}\ a_n=\bigg(\dfrac{4}{3}\bigg)a_{n-1}$
