Answer:
c. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
PA² = (BC + PB) × PB => tangent-secant theorem
PA = 8
PB = 4
BC = ?
Substitute
8² = (BC + 4) × 4
64 = 4BC + 16
64 - 16 = 4BC + 16 - 16
48 = 4BC
48/4 = 4BC/4
12 = BC
BC = 12
We have a + b = 180 and a = 12 + b;
Then, 12 + b + b = 180;
12 + 2b = 180;
2b = 168;
b = 84;
a = 12 + 84;
a = 96;
Both a rhombus and a rectangle have diagonals that are perpendicular bisectors, but the ones formed in a square are all congruent, so that is probably the most descriptive one.
Standard Form : f (x) = a(x - h)2 + k
Where in this equation (H,K) is the vortex of the parabola
<u>and there are four other ways to solving these quadratic</u>
1. Factoring
2. Completing the square
3. Your quadratic formula ( f (x) = a(x - h)2 + k )
4. Graphing
It would be b because a^2+b^2=c^2 so in this case 5^2+8^2=c^2
