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.

Question 1
8090 [49]

The correct answer is C. The 13 moose are the individuals. There is one categorical variable and four quantitative variables.

Explanation:

In research, the individuals refer to the participants or population that is being analyzed. For example, if the purpose of the research is to know how many hours highschool students sleep, the individuals are high school students. In this context, the individual or population of this study ae the 13 moose.

Moreover, this research focuses on different variables such as gender, height, the number of hours each moose spends in the water, the weigh of the food eaten on average by each moose, and the average weight of food eaten every day. From these variables, the last four variables are quantitative because they can be measured using numbers, for example, the height is measured in inches. On the other hand, the first variable is categorical because each moose can be classified in only two categories: male or female.
