Answer:

22.96 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point of contact of the tangent with the circle be R.

Let the centre of the circle be O.

We are told that from Point P, the length of the tangent is 24 cm.

Thus, PR = 24 cm

Now, the radius will be perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact with the circle.

Thus, ORP will form a right angle triangle where ∠R = 90°

Since radius = 7 cm, we can use pythagoras theorem to find OP which is the distance of P from the centre.

Thus;

OP = √(24² - 7²)

OP = √527

OP = 22.96 cm

Let f(x)=−3x. The graph of f(x) ​is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 u
Naily [24]
So the equation for these types of equations is f(x) = a(x-h)+k with h being a horizontal translation, a being a stretch/compression and k being a vertical translation. So here if you want a stretch of 4 a would be four, g(x)=4(-3x-h)+k. Also, there is a horizontal translation so it would be positive 4 into the equation. Since there is no change in the y-axis there is no vertical translation resulting in g(x) = 4(-3x-4)

I’m crying helppppppppppppppppppppppp what is 5/10 times 2/4 show step by step and simplified
mamaluj [8]
Simplify both to 1/2 because both numerators are half of their denominators. Then multiply straight across to 1/4.
