Answer:

(D) 65 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem: Tangents to a Circle from the same point are equal

By this theorem, |DC|=|BC|

$2x^2+15=4x^2-35\\$Collect like terms to solve for x\\15+35=4x^2-2x^2\\2x^2=50\\$Divide both sides by 2\\x^2=25\\x^2=5^2\\$ x=5 inch$

Recall:

$|DC|=2x^2+15$

Substituting x=5 inch into |DC|

$|DC|=2(5)^2+15=2*25+15=50+15\\$

|DC|=65 inch

What value of p makes the expression true? -3p+1/8=-1/4

meriva

Answer:

p = 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

-3p + 1/8 = -1/4

Step 2: Subtract 1/8 on both sides

-3p = -3/8

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3

p = 1/8

)Suppose ABC is a right triangle with sides of lengths a, b, and c and right angle at C. Find the unknown side length using the

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$a=\sqrt{7}$

$\text{tan}(A)=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that ABC is a right triangle with sides of lengths a, b, and c and right angle at C.

To find the side length a, we will Pythagoras theorem, which states that the sum of squares of two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse of right triangle.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Upon substituting our given values in Pythagoras theorem, we will get:

$a^2+3^2=4^2$

$a^2+9=16$

$a^2+9-9=16-9$

$a^2=7$

Take square root of both sides:

$a=\sqrt{7}$

Therefore, the length of side 'a' is $\sqrt{7}$ units.

We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle with adjacent side.

$\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}$

We can see that 'a' is opposite side of angle A and 'b' is adjacent side.

$\text{tan}(A)=\frac{a}{b}$

$\text{tan}(A)=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$

Therefore, the value of tan(A) is $\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$ .
