The statement that best describes a tangent of a circle is that
B. it is a segment that touches the circle in exactly one point and makes a right angle with the radius.
Here's a picture of what a tangent looks like:

Answer:
The number y decreased by 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
(a + b)² = 9
(b + c)² = 25
(a + c)² = 81
Taking the square root:
a + b = ±3
b + c = ±5
a + c = ±9
By adding these three equations together and dividing both sides by 2, we get the value of a + b + c.
Possible combinations for a + b + c such that the sum is greater than or equal to 1 are:
a + b + c = (-3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 11/2
a + b + c = (3 − 5 + 9)/2 = 7/2
a + b + c = (3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 17/2
Area would be 15 if base is 6m and height is 5m
So 6*4=24
5*4=20
Area would be 240 for the 2nd answer
240/15=16
The area is 16x bigger
