7 0

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°

Samuel made a list of his test scores: 88, 100, 92, 80, 85, 94, and 90. What is the lowest test score he can get on his next tes
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

he needs to get a 91 to have a mean score of 90

Step-by-step explanation:

add up all the known scores to get 629

let 's' = lowest test score

(629 + s) ÷ 8 = 90   [we divide by 8 because there are 7 known and 1 unknown score)

cross-multiply to get:

629 + s = 720

s = 720-629

s = 91

Use the euclidean algorithm to find integers $x$ and $y$ such that $164x + 37y = 1,$ with the smallest possible positive value o
Advocard [28]

Well, let's use the Euclidean algorithm:

164 = 4×37 + 16

37 = 2×16 + 5

16 = 3×5 + 1

Then working backwards,

1 = 16 - 3×5

1 = 16 - 3×(37 - 2×16) = 7×16 - 3×37

1 = 7×(164 - 4×37) - 3×37 = 7×164 - 31×37

so that x = 7 and y = -31.
