Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The above diagram
Required
Determine length AB
Tangents drawn from the same point of a circle are equal;
<em>This implies that</em>
Substitute values for AB and AC
Subtract 3y from both sides
Divide both sides by 8
Substitute 
for y in
there will be 12 groups of 7
and 1 group of 6
Answer:
2 2/3 or 24/9
Step-by-step explanation:
3 2/9 - 5/9 = 24/9 = 2 6/9
3*9+2 = 29/9
29/9 - 5/9 = 2 6/9
2 6/9 turns into 2 2/3
2 2/3 is equal to 24/9
You can use the pythagorean theorem. Make sure that you put the measurements in the right places though. Since 11 is the measure of the hypotenuse, 11 has to be c. When you plug in the information that you have, it should look like this:
8^2 + b^2 = 11^2
Square 8 and 11.
64 + b^2 = 121
Subtract 64 from 121
121 - 64 = 57
The new equation is:
b^2 = 57
Now take the square root of both sides to get b by itself.
b = about 7.5
Answer: The height of the triangle is 7.5
