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.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

<em>10 miles</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance d = v t

v - speed/velocity

t - time

<em>d</em> = \frac{3}{4} (8) + \frac{1}{3} (12) = 6 + 4 = <em>10 miles</em>

Find the coordinates of the other endpoint when given midpoint (point M) and one of the endpoints (point P). P=(3,5) and M=(-2,0
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

About Points

S = (x,y)        searched point (it will be in the third quadrant )

M = (-2,0)      Midpoint | SP |

P = (3,5)        one end of the segment | SP |

You have to draw Cartesian.

we set in a point M and P. We both points by a simple and we extend it for the third quarter of the system. Compass measure the distance from the point M to the point P. From the point M we set a compass point S. Figure attached. Received point S = ( -7 , -5 ) . It sought a point that calculate .

We use the information that | SM | = | MP |

Answer : S = (-7,-5)

What is special about a 30 60 90 triangle?
Nata [24]
A 30-60-90 triangle is special because of the relationship of its sides. Also <span>It turns out that in a 30-60-90 triangle, you can find the measure of any of the three sides, simply by knowing the measure of at least one side in the triangle.

Hope this helps. :)</span>
