Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
tangent lines from the same point to a circle are congruent in length, so we can say that
5x+8 = 8x-4
5x -5x +8 = 8x - 5x -4
8 = 3x - 4
8+4 = 3x -4 + 4
3x = 12
3x/3 = 12/3
x=4
Perpendicular line always have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another. Mathematically,
m1*m2=-1
So to be perpendicular to the line given, let's rearrange it to the point slope form of a line...
3y=6x ?3 (not sure what you wanted to type there)
anyway isolating y by dividing both side by three will leave 2x where 2 is the slope.
So for the other line to be perpendicular, m*2=-1, m=-1/2, now we have:
y=-x/2 +b, we can now you the point given to solve for b
4=-2/2 +b
4=-1+b
b=5 so
y=-x/2 +5 or more neatly
y=(10-x)/2
No, you can't form a triangle.
6+8=14 and you can't build a triangle.
Well the may not be the same by comparing the angels and the area an perimeter and shape<span />
Around a track like you run for track meets its 4 so for 1/4 of a mile it would be 1
