Answer:

By looking at the diagram, you can see what the measurements of a, b, and y.

m∠a = 90°

m∠b = 53.15°

m∠y = 36.87°

Since all triangles have a sum of 180° and the diagram shows a triangle, you will get 180° when you add up all of the measurements.

90 + 53.15 + 36.87 = 180.02

180.02 can be rounded to 180.

Which statement explains why the perimeter of the rectangle can be found using l + w + l + w or 2l + 2w?

mrs_skeptik [129]

BOTH they both are correct bc they both state the same thing perimeter is both length+ both width's so l+l+w+w=2l+2w

Prove algebraically that the straight line with equation x=2y+5 is a tangent to the circle with equation x^2+y^2=5

zmey [24]

Differentiate both sides of the equation of the circle with respect to $x$ , treating $y=y(x)$ as a function of $x$ :

$x^2+y^2=5\implies2x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=-\dfrac xy$

This gives the slope of any line tangent to the circle at the point $(x,y)$ .

Rewriting the given line in slope-intercept form tells us its slope is

$x=2y+5\implies y=\dfrac12x-\dfrac52\implies\mathrm{slope}=\dfrac12$

In order for this line to be tangent to the circle, it must intersect the circle at the point $(x,y)$ such that

$-\dfrac xy=\dfrac12\implies y=-2x$

In the equation of the circle, we have

$x^2+(-2x)^2=5x^2=5\implies x=\pm1\implies y=\mp2$

If $x=-1$ , then $-1=2y+5\implies y=-3\neq2$ , so we omit this case.

If $x=1$ , then $1=2y+5\implies y=-2$ , as expected. Therefore $x=2y+5$ is a tangent line to the circle $x^2+y^2=5$ at the point (1, -2).
