Answer:

x = 170 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius of the circle at the point of tangency. That means that in quadrilateral AOBC, angles A and B are right angles and measure 90 deg.

The sum of the measures of the angles of an n-sided polygon is

(n - 2)180 deg

In this case, n = 4, so

(4 - 2)180 deg = 360 deg

m<A + m<O + m<B + m<C = 360

90 + x + 90 + 10 = 360

x + 190 = 360

x = 170

Answer: 170 deg

AOB ( x) + ACB = 180

AOB (x) + 10 = 180

x = 180-10

x = 170

Can someone please help me with this similar area question? I have the answer but I’m not sure how to get to it. Will make brain

Mumz [18]

Step-by-step explanation:

well there is a very simple point that you have mistaken tho:

484cm², 25cm²

Areas are defined in square cm but the radius is in cm

so:

$\sqrt{ \frac{484 {cm}^{2} }{25 {cm}^{2} } } = \frac{7.92}{r} = = = > 4.4 = \frac{7.92cm}{x} = = > x = \frac{7.92cm}{4.4} = x = 1.8cm$

and there you go

Consider the words typically associated with geometry. Are there any words that would be hard to precisely define? What words ca

noname [10]

Answer:

Not necessarily words, because there is nothing hard to define in geometry, something hard to LEARN is theorems and postulates though.

Are these triangles similar? If yes, write a similarity statement.<br>

sergiy2304 [10]

Yes because they both have the same degrees, but one is slightly rotated
