Segment AB is tangent to c.find AB.

<h3>Answer:   38.1</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Segment AB is tangent to circle C. That tells us angle ABC is a 90 degree angle (the tangent is always perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency). In other words, segments AB and BC are perpendicular. So triangle ABC is a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is AC = 22+22 = 44 units. One of the legs is BC = 22 units, due to the fact that radii of the same circle are the same length.

We then use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing leg length.

(AB)^2 + (BC)^2 = (AC)^2

(AB)^2 + (22)^2 = (44)^2

(AB)^2 + 484 = 1936

(AB)^2 = 1936 - 484

(AB)^2 = 1452

AB = sqrt(1452)

AB = 38.105118 which is approximate

AB = 38.1 after rounding to the nearest tenth

A tree casts a shadow 24 feet long. a 5 foot person casts a 8 foot shadow.How tall is the tree?
ra1l [238]
(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)

24/x = 8/5

24*5 = x*8

120 = 8x

8x = 120

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

The tree is 15 feet tall

What’s the vertical and horizontal line?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Part 1) Vertical line : x=1

Part 2) Horizontal line :  y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Write the equation for the vertical line passing through the point (1,-4)

we know that

The equation of a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis) is equal to the x-coordinate of the point that passes through it

so

The x-coordinate is 1

therefore

The equation of the line is

x=1

Part 2) Write the equation for the horizontal line passing through the point (1,-4)

we know that

The equation of a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis) is equal to the y-coordinate of the point that passes through it

so

The y-coordinate is -4

therefore

The equation of the line is

y=-4
