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

Point Q of quadrilateral QRST is (-9,2). What is the image of Q after QRST has been reflected across
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

(-2,9)

(2,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point Q of quadrilateral QRST has coordinate (-9,2).

When this point is reflected across the y-axis , we negate the x-coordinate to obtain (--9,2)=(9,2).

This point is again rotated through an angle of 90 degrees(counterclockwise) about the origin.

The rule for 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation is (x,y)\to(-y,x).

\implies (9,2)\to(-2,9)

Therefore the image of Q(-9,2) after a reflection across the y-axis followed by a 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation about the origin is is Q'(-2,9).

However, the rotation could also be clockwise.

The rule for 90 degrees clockwise rotation is (x,y)\to(y,-x).

\implies (9,2)\to(2,-9)

The image of Q(-9,2) after a reflection across the y-axis followed by a 90 degrees clockwise rotation about the origin is is Q'(2,-9).

Both answers are there, so you can check them since the question did not specify the direction.
