*see attachment for diagram

Answer:

Perimeter = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: when two tangents are drawn to meet at a point outside a circle, the segments of the two tangents are congruent.

Given,

CQ = 5

PQ = 10

PR = 14

Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR

CQ = QB = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)

BP = PQ - QB

BP = 10 - 5 = 5

BP = PA = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)

AR = PR - PA

AR = 14 - 5 = 9

AR = RC = 9 (tangents drawn from an external point)

✔️Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR

= 9 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 9

Perimeter = 38

A number is three less than six times another numbers. The sum is 53. Find the numbers
Pachacha [2.7K]
X = 6y - 3
x + y = 53

6y - 3 + y = 53
7y - 3 = 53
7y = 53 + 3
7y = 56
y = 56/7
y = 8

x = 6y - 3
x = 6(8) - 3
x = 48 - 3
x = 45

ur numbers are : 8 and 45

A line passes through the point (-3, -3) and has a slope of 1/2. What is the equation of the line?
harina [27]
To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.

SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.

To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.

To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.

Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.

Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is y=1/2x+1.5.
