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.

These equations take their y-values from the set (4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Arrange the equations in decreasing order of the values of y t
Advocard [28]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a, c, b

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect terms, subtract the constant, divide by the y-coefficient.

(a) 4y + (y - 1) = 29   ⇒   y = 6

(c) (2y + 3) - 4 = 9​   ⇒   y = 5

(b) 4y - y + 1 = 13   ⇒   y = 4 . . . . . this equation is not what you have written

<em>Additional comment</em>

The second equation suffers from a typo, so your answer may vary.

In this question, we would be multiplying.

In this case, you would multiply 20000 by 1.9, since 1.9 is the decimal form of 190%.

Solve:

20000 · 1.9 = 38,000‬

Answer:

38,000‬

What is the slope of the line that contains the points in the table?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The boxes with whole numbers in them written as coordinates:

(-4, -11)

(8, -8)

we know gradient is rise over run, or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

gradient = (-8 - -11) / (8 - -4)

gradient = 3 / 12

gradient = ¼
