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

Give the discriminant of the equation 0 = −x2+6x−9<br>please answer

Brut [27]

Answer:

x = 3

Steps:

$- ( {x}^{2} - 6x + 9) = 0$

$- {(x - 3)}^{2} = 0$

${(x - 3)}^{2} = 0$

$x - 3 = 0$

There you go!

Which of the following are possible values of r?<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%7Br%7D%5E%7B2%20%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%5Cf

Answer:

$r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$ and $r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

when you solve for r in the given equation, you need to apply the square root property, which gives positive and negative answers (both should therefore be considered):

$r^2=\frac{3}{16} \\r=+/-\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}} \\r=+/-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$

then you need to include these two possible solutions:

$r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$ and $r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$

Which lines, if any, must be parallel based on the given diagram?

Semmy [17]

I cant really see the letters but the ones that are going straight up. I believe this is the answer because as you can see it's going up without intersecting between each other.

Which best describes the relationship between the line that passes through the points (–6, –1) and (–11, 1) and the line that pa

yaroslaw [1]

The two are perpendicular to each other because the two slopes are negative reciprocals

(Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

First slope:
( 1 - (-1)) / (-11 - (-6))
2/-5

Second slope:
(-13 - (-8)) / (-5 - (-3))
-5/-2 or 5/2

You know when two aliens are perpendicular when you multiply the two slopes and get -1 as the product

-2/5 X 5/2 = -1

Thus the two lines are perpendicular to each other.
