AB and AC are tangent. Find AB

Mathematics
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

AB =  \frac{11}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above diagram

AB = 3y + 4

AC = 11y

Required

Determine length AB

Tangents drawn from the same point of a circle are equal;

<em>This implies that</em>

AB = AC

Substitute values for AB and AC

3y + 4 =11y

Subtract 3y from both sides

3y - 3y + 4 = 11y - 3y

4 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8

\frac{4}{8} = \frac{8y}{8}

\frac{4}{8} = y

\frac{1}{2} = y

Substitute \frac{1}{2} for y in AB = 3y + 4

AB = 3 * \frac{1}{2} + 4

AB =  \frac{3}{2} + 4

AB =  \frac{3 + 8}{2}

AB =  \frac{11}{2}

What is the area of the rectangle
OLEGan [10]

To find the area of a rectangle, we must use the formula, A = lw, where the variable l represents the length of the rectangle and the variable w represents the width of the rectangle. To find the area, we just have to substitute in the values we are given for the length and width (shown in the picture above) to calculate the area. This is modeled below:

A = lw

A = 12 cm * 5 cm

To solve, we simply multiply the two factors on the right side of the equation to find the area. Remember that because we are multiplying these two numbers together, we should end up with an answer that has squared units!

A = 60 cm²

Therefore, your answer is that the area of the rectangle is 60 cm².

Hope this helps!
