Answer:

No, we can not construct a tangent line that passes through a point A inside the circle C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangent line:A tangent line to a circle is define as the  straight line which touches the circle at one point only. The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius of circle .

The point at which tangent touches the circle is called point of contact.

If we construct a line inside the circle C and passes through point A .The constructing line not a  tangent line to a circle .

Because by definition of tangent to a circle

The constructing line does not touch the circle at one point and the point is called point of contact . The constructing line not perpendicular to radius at point of tangency.

The constructing line is a simple line not tangent which passes through a point A inside the circle C.

Therefore , we can not construct a tangent line passing through a point A inside the circle C.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent line is a line entirely exterior to the circle except for the one point of intersection that lies on the circle. It does not (and cannot) go through any points inside the circle.

c. 4.6

       

21 X .22= 4.6

       

Calculating the variance requires finding the product of 21 and 22%. To make this easier we convert 22% into it's decimal form and construct the equation. To back check this answer we can use 10% of 21 voters which equals 2.1% then double that amount to reach 4.2%, knowing that we now have a close approximation of the variance we can eliminate answers a, b, and d, leaving c as the only logical choice.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

ΔABC≅ΔDEC by AAS

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the AAS method of congruency.

Since you already have <BAC and <EDC congruent to eachother, and sides BC and EC congruent to each other, you only need that one remaining angle in between. <ACB can be proven congruent to <DCE by the Vertical Angles Theorem, and that gives you the AAS you need to prove that these two triangles are congruent

Hope this helped.
