Given:

JK is tangent to a circle with center H

To find:

The length of HK.

Solution:

The image is attached below.

JK = 8 mi, HJ = 15 mi

JK is tangent to a circle.

The tangent is always perpendicular to the radius.

Therefore, m∠J = 90°

Using Pythagoras theorem:

HK² = JK² + HJ²

HK² = 8² + 15²

HK² = 64 + 225

HK² = 289

HK² = 17²

Taking square root on both sides.

HK = 17

The length of HK is 17 mi.

A rectangular box with a square base contains 24 cubic feet. if the height of the box is 18 inches, how many feet are there in e
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

V = Lwh

the volume (given) = 24 ft^3

the height (given) = 18" = 1.5'

24 = L*w*1.5

divide both sides by 1.5

16 = Lw

You need to find the number of feet in each side of the base

since the box has a square base

L = W

AND, found above, L*w = 16

so 4*4= 16

Answer - 4
