What is PA <br> Enter your answer in the box
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

P is the in-center

⇒PA=PE=PD because they are in-radius of the in-circle

We know that, tangent segments drawn from a point outside the circle are always equal in length

⇒DK=EK=7.2

In right triangle PKE,

using Pythagoras' Theorem : PK^{2}=PE^{2}+KE^{2}

⇒PE^{2}=PK^{2}-KE^{2}

⇒PE=\sqrt{PK^{2}-KE^{2} }

⇒PE^{2}=\sqrt{7.8^{2}-7.2^{2}} }

⇒PE=3

Therefore, PA=3

A rectangular poster has an area of 190 inches squared. The height of the poster is one inch less than twice its width. Find the
Annette [7]
Set the height to h, and the width to w.

We know that wh=190 and h=2w-1.

Substituting 2w-1 for h, we have:

w(2w-1)=190

So:
2w^2-w-190=0

Factoring this equation, we get (2w+19)(w-10)=0.  The solutions to this equation are -9.5 and 10, but clearly the width must be positive, Substituting 10 for the width, we get 10*2-1=19 for the height.
