Answer:

If AB is a tangent to the circle, the triangle ABO is right angled, as the angle where a tangent meets the circumference is always 90 degrees.

We also know that Pythogoras' theorem only holds for right angled triangles.

The hypotenuse is 12 + 8 as 12 is the radius so is 20.

16^2+12^2 = 256 + 144 = 400 = 20^2 so AB must be tangent.

List the next four multiples of fraction 7/12

Sidana [21]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

$\frac{14}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*2\\\\\\\frac{21}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*3\\\\\\\\\frac{28}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*4\\\\\\\\\frac{35}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*5$

A multiple of a number is the repeated sum of itself, for example:

Multiple of the number 1 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so...

Multiple of the number 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and so...

From the example we have:

Multiple of the number 3 are: Itself, (3+3), (3+3+3), (3+3+3+3), (3+3+3+3+3) and so...

So,

Multiple of $\frac{7}{12}$ are:

$\frac{14}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*2=\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}\\\\\\\frac{21}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*3=\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}\\\\\\\\\frac{28}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*4=\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}\\\\\\\\\frac{35}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*5=\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}$

Have a nice day!

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=-14

x=x

y=x+20

x+(x+20)=-14

2x+20=-14

2x=-14-20

2x=-34

x=-34/2

x=-17

y=-17+20

y=3
