Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a tangent and a secant to a circle from an external point, then

The square of the tangent is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the secant , that is

PB² = PA × PC = 4(4 + 32) = 4 × 36 = 144 ( take square root of both sides )

PB = \sqrt{144} = 12 → a

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2

PC * PA = PB^2

(PA+AC) * PA = PB^2

(4+32) * 4 = PB^2

36*4 = PB^2

144 = PB^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(144) = sqrt(PB^2)

12= PB

Each pair of figures below is similar. Find the lengths of all unknown sides​
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

  a) w = 8; y = 5.25

  b) x = 10; z = 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Dimensions on the smaller figure are FA/F'A' = 3/4 times those on the larger figure.

  6 = (3/4)w

  w = 24/3 = 8

  y = (3/4)·7 = 21/4 = 5.25

__

b) Dimensions on the smaller figure are ER/E'R' = 9/15 = 3/5 times those on the larger figure.

  6 = (3/5)x

  x = 30/3 = 10

  z = (3/5)12 = 36/5 = 7.2

Calculate the length of the unknown side of this right angled triangle
azamat

Answer:

12.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve for the unknown side "c" we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem formula,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

We already have a and b which are 8 and 9 so we plug them in.

(8)^2 + (9)^2 = c^2

64 + 81 = c^2

145 = c^2

c = 12.04 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>the unknown side is about 12.04.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

Please help with this question I will pass if I get it right

Answer:

  ∠K = ∠M = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

The two marked angles are opposite the sides marked as congruent. That means the angles are congruent, so we have ...

  4x -1 = 2x +27

  2x = 28 . . . . . . . . add 1-2x to both sides

  x = 14

  4x -1 = 4(14) -1 = 55

The measures of the angles are ...

  ∠K = ∠M = 55°
