Answer:

Correct option: (3) 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length of the tangent 'T', the length of the external segment 'E' and the length of the internal segment 'A'.

If we have a secant and a tangent to a circle, we can use the following property:

T^2 = E * (A + E)

If the tangent is 14 inches and the external segment is 4 inches, we have that:

14^2 = 4 * (A + 4)

196 = 4A + 16

4A = 180

A = 45

Correct option: (3)

I have a question that says " jada has read 3/5 of a book. She has read 75 pages so far. How many pages are in the whole book?"
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we would multiply by the reciprocal of the portion Jada has read, and multiply that number to 75.

The reciprocal means the the value, but flipped, so \frac{3}{5} will become \frac{5}{3}.

Now we do 75 times \frac{5}{3}/

\frac{75 * 5}{3} \\\\\\\\\frac{375}{3} \\\\\\\\125

So, there are 125 total pages in the book.

Conclusion: Then, b is true

Note: the order of the premises 1 and 2 does not modifiy the argument.

IN this case:

Premise 1) angle > 90 => obtuse

Premise 2) angle = 102 [i.e. it is true that angle > 90]]

Conclusion: it is true that angle is obtuse

Find the missing exponent. 2^{3}\cdot 2^{?}=2^{10}2
guapka [62]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

2^3 • 2^7 = 2^10

When multiplying exponents, the exponents add up together. In other words, just subtract 10-3 = 7 that would be your missing exponent!

Hope this helps, good luck!
