Answer:

A 90

Step-by-step explanation:

multiple ways to prove this.

e.g. since the angle between the two lines from the center of the circle to the 2 tangent touching points is 90 degrees (that is the meaning of these 90 degrees here as the angle of the circle segment defined by the 2 tangent touching points and the circle center), the tangents have the same "behavior" as tan and cot = the tangents at the norm circle at 0 and 90 degrees. they hit each other outside of the circle again at 90 degrees.

another way

imagine the two right triangles of the tangents crossing point to the circle center and the tangent/circle touching points.

the Hypotenuse of each triangle is cutting the 90 degree angle of the circle segment exactly in half (due to the symmetry principle). so the angle between radius side and Hypotenuse is 90/2 = 45 degrees.

that means also the angle of such a right triangle at the tangent crossing point is 45 degrees (as the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180, we have the remainder of 180 - 90 - 45 = 45 degrees).

the angles of both right triangles at that point are the same, and so we can add 45+45 = 90 degrees for the total angle at the tangent crossing point.

Help please! Don’t understand!

telo118 [61]

Answer: Well since the ratio is 9:7 for red to blue well transfer that first by finding out the blue if there are 117 xc=9:7x13 would be 117 red and 7x13=91 blue so the new ratio is 117:91.

So now we add which I'm sure you can do,

A brace for a shelf has the shape of a right triangle. Its hypotense is 16 incges long and the two legs are equal in length. How

Len [333]

We use trigonometry because we know an angle and a side length.

We are looking for one of the sides that isn't the hypotenuse:
As illustrated by the picture I made below:

We know both unknown angles will be 45 degrees, as there are 180 degrees in a triangle, we know the triangle is a right angle triangle (has 90 degrees) so, (180-90)/2 = 45

Using SOH CAH TOA, short for : SIN- OH COS- AH TAN- OA

We are looking for the one with H, as we know what H is.
I am picking "SIN- OH", but we could use "COS- AH"

The formula for this is: Sin(angle) = O/H
We substitute the angle (45) and the length for H (16)

Sin(45)= O/16 <- rearrange it
Sin(45)*16= O <- Solve in the calculator
13.6145 (4 DP)= O
The legs = O

The legs have a length of "13.6145 (4 DP)" each

Discuss how you will use number sense to help plan a trip to your state capital. In your response, include the numbers that woul

nordsb [41]

To plan a trip to your state capital, you need the following numbers

The number of available routes
The distance
The speed limit
Time

Assume you're travelling by road, you need to highlight the number of routes between your state and the state capital.

The number of routes is a natural number (i.e. minimum of 1 e.g. 6, 8, 1). Because it is a natural number, the number of routes can never be 0.

Next is to determine the distance to the state capital through each route. In most cases, the distance between places are positive rational or irrational numbers (however, they can be approximated to natural numbers).

The speed limit on each route will also help in planning the trip. Speed limits are always represented as natural numbers. When you know the speed limit (and the distance), you can use that to predict how long (i.e. the time) the trip will take. The formula to use is:

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

Make time the subject

$Time= \frac{Distance}{Speed }$

The value of time can be estimated/approximated as a natural number.

In addition to the previous number, you may also need the following numbers

The liters of fuel to use
The amount of fuel per liter

The essence of place value in these number (especially the numbers with decimal points) is to get an estimated value.
