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

Find the missing angles
lora16 [44]

Let's find a.

We are given a right angle which is 90° and an angle marked by "a" next to it. We know that when they are added together, they make a supplementary angle so we can make a equationa and solve.

90 + a = 180

a = 90°

Let's find b.

By looking at the graph, we can tell that the angle "b" and the angle that measures 163° is the same. Thus, b = 163°.

Let's find c.

Using what we did for a, we can solve for c using what we got for b. We can make an equation and solve.

163 + b = 180

c = 27°

Let's find d.

Using the angle that measures 70°, we can solve it like we did with a and c.

70 + d = 180

d = 110°

Let's find e.

Now that we know what d equals, we know that d and e make a supplmentary angle. So, make an equation and solve.

110 + e = 180

e = 70°

Best of Luck!

A line intersects the points (6, -12) and (15, -3). What is the slope intercept equation for this line?
Korolek [52]
Let's say that the unknown value here is c. Although we are given two points on the line, it is only necessary to use one as there is only one unknown value, so let's say we choose the point (6, -12) and substitute this into the equation:

-12 = 1(6) - c
-12 - 6 = -c
-18 = -c
c = 18

Thus the equation for the line is y = 1x - 18
