Answer:

It is not tangent

Step-by-step explanation:

If it were tangent, that angle A would have to equal 90 degrees since that just the definition of a line tangent to a circle, its perpendicular to the radius.  

If it were tangent, then we could use the pythagorean theorem to check if this is a right triangle and actually has angle A with 90 degrees.  a^2+b^2=c^2

4^2+12^2 does not equal 13^2.

If segment AC was 5, then it would be tangent but since its 4, the pythagorean theorem doesnt match up and therefore, it doesnt make a 90degree angle

If you dont understand my stupid explanation thats hard to explain then search this up on google

The balance of a loan is $2,570 in January, and the monthly payment is $125.50. The relationship between the loan balance, y, an
Hoochie [10]
1600<2570-125.5x<2000  subtract 2570 from all terms...

-970<-125.5x<-570  divide all terms by -125.5 (and reverse signs because of division by a negative!)
 
7.73>x>4.54  and x is months since January, and since months can only be integers...

x=[5,7]

So January + 5, 6, and 7 respectively are the three months that satisfy the equation...

June, July, and August.

Rectangles ABCD and EFGH have the same shape. What is the length oh FG
tangare [24]
The length of FG would be BC. This is because FG and BC corresponds on the shape letter sequence. This would mean that EF would be AB, that GH would be CD, and that HE would be DA.
