Answer:
OG = 8.7
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle a tangent makes with a radius at the point of tangency is a right angle. That means ΔOGH is a right triangle.
The tangents to a circle from an external point are congruent, so GH = GI = 6.3. Now we know the sides of the right triangle are of lengths 6 and 6.3. The hypotenuse, OG is found using the Pythagorean theorem.
OG² = OH² +GH²
OG² = 6² +6.3² = 75.69
OG = √75.69 = 8.7
The length of OG is 8.7 units.

<em>Additional comment</em>
You might recognize this triangle as a 0.3 multiple of the Pythagorean triple (20, 21, 29).
Your answer is 13.44 and rounded to the whole is still going to be 13
If you are trying to figure out the distance between the top of the tree and the end of the shadow, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs of the right triangle.
5^2 + 4^2 = c^2
25 + 16 = c^2
41 = c^2
c = √41 = 6.4 meters
Answer:
The fraction -31/8 cannot be simplified.
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
For getting the nature of solution of the quadratic equation of the form:
ax² + bx + c = 0
We need to find Discriminant which is:
Discriminant (D) = b² - 4ac
- If D < 0, there is no solution of equation.
- If D = 0, there are two equal and real solution of equation
- If D < 0, there are two real and distinct solution of equation
Here we have equation is:
2x² - 9x + 12 = 0
∴ a=2, b = -9, c = 12
⇒ D = 81 - 4 × 2 × 12 = -16 < 0
Hence, there is no solution of given equation.
