Hi can some one help me find AB​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bond [772]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

5.5 or 5 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we first need to set up an equation. Line AB is tangent to circle P. So is line AC. Because these two tangent lines come together at a point, they are congruent, or equal to each other. Now that we know this, we can set up an equation in order to solve for the value of y.

3y + 4 = 11y

Now solve for y.

- 3y       - 3y

4 = 8y

÷8   ÷8

y = 0.5 or 1/2

Now that we know what the value of y is, we can plug that number into the AB equation to figure out what the measurement of line AB is.

3(0.5) + 4 =

1.5 + 4 =

5.5 or 5 1/2

We now know the measurement of line AB. I hope this helps and isn't too confusing. Please let me know if you need any more help. Good luck!

How are polar and rectangular planes related?
nlexa [21]

Polar coordinates (r,ϑ) and Cartesian coordinates (x,y) are related as follows:

Cartesian -> Polar
x = r cos(ϑ)
y = r sin(ϑ)

Polar -> Cartesian
r^2 = x^2 + y^2
ϑ = arctan( y/x)

The polar coo's can be extended to cylindrical by introduction a dimension z - which is perpendicular to the polar plane, it follows that:

z = z 
in between the systems (r,ϑ,z) and (x,y,z)

The polar coordinates are particularly useful when a problem has circular or cylindrical symmetry, i.e. it is usually "easier" to perform calculations on a circle (for example) using the polar coordinates.

The measure of two complementary angles are in the ratio of 1:5. What are the degree measures of the two angles
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

15 degrees & 75 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A complementary angles are angles that add up to be 90 degrees. The ration of one of those angles to the other is 1:5.

One angle will be x degrees, and the other will be 5x degrees. Together, they  will be 90 degrees. We can turn that into this equation:

5x + x = 90

6x = 90

x = 15

So, since x is 15 degrees, one of the angles is 15 degrees, and the other is 5 times that, or 75 degrees.
