Bumek [7]3 years ago

Answer:

r = 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

AB is the tangent drawn from a point A to the circle C.

BC = r [Radius of the circle]

Length of AC = (18 + r)

AB = 30

By the property of a tangent drawn to a circle,

"Radius of a circle and tangent are perpendicular to each other"

AB ⊥ BC

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,

AB² + BC² = AC²

(30)² + r² = (r + 18)²

900 + r² = r² + 36r + 324

36r = 900 - 324

r = \frac{576}{36}

r = 16 units

Circle A has center of (4, 5), and a radius of 3 and circle B has a center of (1,7), and a radius of 9. What steps will help sho
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a circle is independent of the location of its center, and circles are always similar.  Here, therefore, the circles are similar; their shapes are exactly the same.  Only the radii differ from one another.  The radius of Circle A is 3 and that of Circle B is 9; thus the radii differ by a factor of 3.
