Answer:
B . Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: a tangent of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of a circle, forming a right angle at the point of tangency.
Therefore, if segment ST is tangent to circle P, it means that m<T = 90°, and ∆PST is a right triangle.
To know if ∆PST is a right triangle, the side lengths should satisfy the Pythagorean triple rule, which is:
c² = a² + b², where,
c = longest side (hypotenuse) = 37
a = 12
b = 35
Plug in the value
37² = 12² + 35²
1,369 = 1,369 (true)
Therefore we can conclude that ∆PST is a right triangle, this implies that m<T = 90°.
Thus, segment ST is a tangent to circle P.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4 + x) = 34
4 + x = 34/2 = 17
x = 17 - 4 = 13
Answer:
17-2x=-11 ---> 14
Step-by-step explanation:
plug in the "answers"
17-2(14)=-11
