Answer:

35°

Step-by-step explanation:

From any point outside a circle, the two tangents to that circle are always congruent to each other. This can be proven by taking the two triangles ΔLAO and ΔLBO and prove that they are congruent. From the upper triangle AO is congruent to BO because AO = BO = Radius. Also, LO is the same length for both triangles, therefore two equal sides. Moreover, the measure of an angle between the tangent to a point of the circle and the radius going from the center to that point equals 90°, so ∠LAO = ∠LBO = 90°. So these two triangles ΔLAO and ΔLBO are congruent by SSA postulate.

If m∠AOB=110°, then m∠AOL = 110°/2 =55°. Finally, the angles of every triangle always measures 180°, therefore:

m∠ALO = 180°-55°-90 = 35°

James is participating in a 5-mile walk to raise money for a charity. he has received $200 in fixed pledges and raises $20 extra
Firlakuza [10]
The standard formula of a point-slope equation is (y-y1) = m(x-x1). So, we would arrange the final equation in this way as much as possible. Let y be the total amount her receives and x be the number of miles. That would be

y = 200 + 20x
y = 20 (10 + x)

That would be the equation. If he finishes the walk,

y = 20 (10+5)
y = $300

he would receive a total of $300.
