Answer:

The correct option is a. The length of MN is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: MQ = 10 in, NP = 3 in and QP=24 in.

If the centers of two circles of radius r₁ and r₂ are d units apart, then the length of the direct common tangent between them is

l=\sqrt{d^2-(r_1-r_2)^2}

24=\sqrt{d^2-(10-3)^2}

Square both sides.

576=d^2-49

625=d^2

Take square root both sides.

25=d

Therefore  length of MN is 25 and option a is correct.

41. Consider the perimeter of the triangle shown. First, find the length of the hypotenuse.
marysya [2.9K]

Use the Pythagorean theorem!

This principle applies to any right triangles.

This states the relationship between the sides that

(7)² + (24)² = x²

All you have to do is simplify at this point.

49 + 576 = x²

625 = x²

√        √

x = 25

You should try to memorize this right triangle. It can be very helpful in fast questionnaires, such as the SAT.

Please answer this correctly
Aleks04 [339]

To get the volume, you need the area of the sides of the square.

The total surface area is 96, with 6 sides. To get the surface area of just one side, divide 96 by 6, which gets you 16. The surface area of a single square is 16. To get one side of the square, divide that by 4 because there are 4 sides.

Now, multiply 16 by 4 to get the volume.

The volume is 64 cubed milllimeters.

Solve the following system of equations by substitution. 3x + 2y = -12 x = 2 A. (2, -9) B. (-2, -3) C. (3, 2) D. (2, 3)
Brilliant_brown [7]
Plugging it in, we get (3)(2)+2y=-12 and 6+2y=-12. Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get -18=2y and dividing by 2 we get y=-9  to get (2, -9) since x is first in the pair
