Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If GH is tangent to circle F, then it forms a right angle with FG. Therefore, triangle FGH would be a right triangle and would satisfy Pythagorean theorem.

34² + 256² = 288²

66692 = 82944

The sides are not a Pythagorean triple, so GH is not tangent to the circle.

The weight of a boy was 15kg last year. If his weight increases by 3kg this year, find the percentage increase in his weight.

WARRIOR [948]

This year = 18kg
18 x .3= 5.4
The percentage change would be 5.4%. If it needs to be rounded by the nearest tenth, then it would be 5%.
I’m pretty confident this is the answer but I’m not 100% sure. I hope this helps!
