Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
A tangent is a line that passes through exactly one point on a circle. For any point on a circle, the radius and tangent line through that point are always perpendicular to each other making a right angle. If two triangles touch each other externally, then there will be 3 lines making right angle with radius of the circles at the point of intersection of circle and tangents. These three tangent lines are shown below. They are the black, blue and green ones.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles form a linear pair, so have a sum of 180°.
(4a +10) +(6a) = 180
10a = 170 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10
a = 17 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
__
Then the measure of angle ABC is ...
∠ABC = 4a +10 = 4(17) +10 = 68 +10 . . . . . substitute 17 for 'a'
∠ABC = 78°
Sales increased 50% last year, from $5,000 to $10,000. When sales dropped from $10,000 to $5,000 this year, sales decreased 50%
