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.

What is the length of segment LP?
Mariana [72]
In the image, as denoted by similar sides OP and MN, we can conclude that the 2 triangles are similar triangles. To look for the value of x (which we can substitute later to find the length of segment LP), we relate the relations of segments LO and LP to segments LM and LN. This relation is shown below:

LO/LP = LM/LN

22 / x+12 = 30 / x+12 + 5
22 / <span>x+12 = 30 / x+17
</span>
Cross-multiplying:
30x + 360 = 22x + 374

Isolating x to one side of the equation by subtracting 22x and 360 from both sides:

30x + 360 - 360 - 22x = 22x + 374 - 360 - 22x
8x = 14
x = 1.75

Since we now have the value of x, we substitute this to the equation of LP:
LP = x + 12
LP = 1.75 + 12
LP = 13.75

Therefore the value of LP is 13.75 in.

Let U = {q, r, s, t, u, V, W, x, y, z}
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

B'=U-B={q, r, s, t, u, V, W, x, y, z}-{q, s, y, z}={r,t, u, V, W, x, y}

A'=U-A={q, r, s, t, u, V, W, x, y, z}-{q, s, u, w, y}={r,t,v,w,x,z}

B'UC={r,t, u, V,W, x, y}U{v, w, x, y, z).={{r,t, u, V,W, x, y,z}

Step-by-step explanation:

(B'U C) U A'={{r,t, u, V,W, x,y,z}U{r,t,v,w,x,z}={{r,t, u, V,W, x,y,z}
