Is this tangent to the circle?

If you are asking about AB, Then in order to be a tangent to the circle the m(A) should be equal to 90 degrees. So we have to test it, if measure of angle "A" is 90 or not. Since the 3 sides lengths were given, I guess they want you to use Pyt<span>hagorean theorem which says the following:
hyp^{2}= adj^{2}+opposite^{2}
hypotenuse in here is the 16 unit length side, the adjacent is AB and  the opposite is the diameter with length of 6.4  unit length.
if 16^{2} = 6.4^{2}+9.6^{2} then m(A)= 90 degrees and it will be a tangent.
16^{2}=256
6.4^{2} + 9.6^{2}=40.96+92.16=133.12 
so the theorem is not applicable in this situation so the m(A) \neq 90 degrees
therefore AB is not a tangent</span>

Hello,

Yes since (2*6.4)²+9.6²=256=16²
Angle A=90°

Avery got on the bus at 1:25 P.M. The trip took 74 minutes. Then she walked for 61 minutes to get home.
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

3:40 p.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 74 minutes to 1:25 p.m.; the improperly formed result witll be 1:99 p.m.; to express this properly, add 1 hour to this time and subtract 60 minutes from it:

2:39 p.m. (time at which Avery gets off the bus)

If Avery walked 61 minutes to get home and we want to know what time she arrived, we add 61 minutes to 2:39 p.m., obtaining 2:100 p.m., which must in turn be re-written as 3:40 p.m.

Avery arrived home at 3:40 p.m.

Note:  another way in which to do this problem is to add 74 minutes and 61 minutes, obtaining 135 minutes, and then adding 135 minutes to 1:25 p.m. and making the necessary adjustments to the result:

1:25 p.m. + 135 minutes = 1:160 p.m., or (recognizing that 120 min = 2 hours)

3:40 p.m.
