Hey there!

Before we start, be sure to remember that when factoring, you need to remember your factors need to add to the middle term and multiply to the final term. Let's go through out options.

Using foil, let's evaluate A-

(x+9)(x+9) = x^2 + 9x + 9x + 81 = x^2 + 18x + 81

Therefore, A is our answer. Let's look at why the others don't work.

B) (x-9)(x-9) = x^2 - 9x - 9x + 81 = x^2 -18x + 81

It doesn't work because the middle term isn't supposed to be negative.

For C, we don't have to evaluate because out of estimation, we realize the number 81 as a factor is too large to be able to use to factor for a number like 18.

Finally, we can't say it's not a perfect square trinomial because by factoring and testing it, we've just proved that it is.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

camilla needs 4 scoops of flow because 3 is related to 15 bc "5x3=15" and that gives us to only need 1 more cup to get 20 cookies

in the circl below, AD is diameter and AB is tangent at A. Suppose mADC=228*, find the measures of mCAB and mCAD. Type your nume

Andrew [12]

Given:

AD is diameter of the circle, AB is the tangent, and measure of arc ADC is 228 degrees.

To find:

The $m\angle CAB$ and $m\angle CAD$ .

Solution:

AD is diameter of the circle. So, the measure of arc AD is 180 degrees.

$m(arcADC)=m(arcAD)+m(arcDC)$

$228^\circ=180^\circ+m(arcDC)$

$228^\circ-180^\circ+=m(arcDC)$

$48^\circ+=m(arcDC)$

The measure inscribed angle is half of the corresponding subtended arc.

$m\angle CAD=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m(arcDC)$

$m\angle CAD=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 48^\circ$

$m\angle CAD=24^\circ$

AB is the tangent. So, $m\angle BAD=90^\circ$ because radius is perpendicular on the tangent and the point of tangency.

$m\angle BAD=m\angle CAB+m\angle CAD$

$90^\circ=m\angle CAB+24^\circ$

$90^\circ -24^\circ=m\angle CAB$

$66^\circ=m\angle CAB$

Therefore, $m\angle CAB=66^\circ$ and $m\angle CAD=24^\circ$ .
