Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that lines which appear to be tangent are tangent.

Therefor this is a right triangle.

Use the pythagorean theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

15^2 = ?^2 + 9^2

225 = ?^2 + 81

subtract 81 from both sides

144 = ?^2

Take the square root of both sides

12 = ?

Answer:

  ? = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent makes a right angle with the radius at the point of tangency. That means the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the missing length.

  ?² +9² = 12²

  ?² = 225 -81 = 144

  ? = √144 = 12

The value of ? is 12.

<em>Additional comment</em>

When you see a right triangle with the ratio of hypotenuse to leg of 15:9 = 5:3, you know immediately that it is a multiple of a 3:4:5 right triangle. Here, the scale factor is 3, so the missing side is 3×4 = 12.

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the inequalities.

===> -7 + 45m - 35 < 9m - 11

===> 45m - 42 < 9m - 11

===> 45m - 9m < -11 + 42

==> 36m < 31

==> m < 31/36

hence the value of m < 31/36

Solve each system substitution 6x - 12y=24 And -x - 6y=4
almond37 [142]
6x-12y=24
x=-6y-4
6(-6y-4)-12y=24
-36y-24-12y=24
-48y=48
y=-1
6x-12(-1)=24
6x+12=24
6x=12
x=2

6(2)-12(-1)=24
12+12=24
 24=24 true
and
-(2)-6(-1)=4
-2+ 6=4
4=4 true
