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.

The lateral surface area of cone A is equal to the lateral surface area of cylinder B.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral area of cone is given by: πrl

where r is the radius and l is the slant height

Here r=r and l=2h

Hence, lateral area of cone A= π×r×2h

                                            =  2πrh

Lateral area of cylinder is given by: 2πrh

where r is the radius and h is the height

Lateral area of cylinder B=2πrh

Clearly, both the lateral areas are equal

Hence, the statement that:The lateral surface area of cone A is equal to the lateral surface area of cylinder B. is:

True

3x^2 / 4 = 48

Multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the four on the left.

3x^2 = 192

Divide both sides by 3

x^2 = 64

The square root 64 to get x

Remember there are two answers

x = 8 and x = -8

a rectangle is transformed according to the rule r0, 90º. the image of the rectangle has vertices located at r'(–4, 4), s'(–4, 1
AleksandrR [38]
Graph images undergo transformations, one of the types of transformations are rotations.
rotation is done when each point of the image rotates 90° around a point in the counterclockwise manner. 
when rotation is done, (x,y) -> (-y,x)
therefore when taking points from image to original then the reverse is done ;
(-y,x) --> (x,y)
the coordinates of  image point q' is (-3,4)
before rotation then the coordinates are (4,3)
answer is (4,3)
