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.
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
x + 8 = 17
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Subtract 8 on both sides: x = 9
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
9 + 8 = 17
17 = 17
Answer:
AC = 25 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ∠ A = ∠ C then the triangle is isosceles and BC = AB , that is
7x - 1 = 5x + 5 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
2x - 1 = 5 ( add 1 to both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 3
Then
AC = 6x + 7 = 6(3) + 7 = 18 + 7 = 25 units
First you open 2 parenthesis with x in each one:
(x )(x )=0
Then, you place the sign of the second term (the x term) in the first parenthesis.
(x+ )(x )=0
Next, you multiply the signs of the x term and the sign of the constant (the third term).
Since + × - = -, then you place a -.
(x+ )(x- )=0
You look at the constant (-18) and the second term (3). What two numbers multiplied give you -18 but subtracted (since the signs inside the parenthesis are opposite) give you 3? Those numbers are 6 and 3.
Since the result of the substraction need to be 3, you place the 6 with the + sign and the 3 with the negative sign (if you think of it, 6-3=3 but 3-6 = -3. That's the reason behind placing the numbers)
(x+6)(x-3)=0
Therefore,
x+6=0 or x-3=0
x=-6 or x=3
Your roots are -6 and 3.
