Answer:
radius ≈ 15.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the radius is RS
the angle between a tangent and the radius at the point of contact is 90°
then Δ RST is a right triangle
using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , then
RS² + ST² = RT² ( substitute values )
RS² + 7² = 17²
RS² + 49 = 289 ( subtract 49 from both sides )
RS² = 240 ( take square root of both sides )
RS = 
≈ 15.5 ( to 1 dec. place )
Answer: Choice C) When you solve for the variable, you will end up with a false statement, like 0 = 2, for an equation with no solution. You will end up with a true statement, like 2 = 2 for an equation with infinitely many solutions.
For example, let's say we had the equation x = x+2. Subtracting x from both sides leads to 0 = 2 which is a false statement. No matter what we replace x with, the equation x = x+2 is always false. That's why we don't have any solutions here.
For an equation like x + 2 = x + 2, subtracting x from both sides leads to 2 = 2 which is always true. A true equation is one where the same number is on both sides. No matter what we replace x with, the equation will be true. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.
If George's bike weighs 15 pounds, then we can say that because Obed's bike is 3 pounds heavier than George's, Obed's bike weighs 18 pounds. If Obed's bike weighs 18 pounds, then we can say that because Elsa's bike is twice as heavy as Obed's, Elsa's bike weighs 9 pounds.
