Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years

Then, my age was 3x

Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years

And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years

But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.

So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)

or, x= 5 years

So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years

And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years

Determine if line AB is tangent to the circle. Type
adoni [48]

Answer:

If AB is a tangent to the circle, the triangle ABO is right angled, as the angle where a tangent meets the circumference is always 90 degrees.

We also know that Pythogoras' theorem only holds for right angled triangles.

The hypotenuse is 12 + 8 as 12 is the radius so is 20.

16^2+12^2 = 256 + 144 = 400 = 20^2 so AB must be tangent.
