Flauer [41]2 years ago

Answer:

The two numbers are 29 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers

x = 2y-7

x+y = 47

We have two equations and 2 unknowns

Substituting the first equation into the second equation

2y-7+y = 47

Combine like terms

3y -7 = 47

3y-7+7 = 47+7

3y = 54

Divide by 3

3y/3 = 54/3

y = 18

Now find x

x = 2y-7

x = 2*18 -7

x = 36-7

x = 29

The two numbers are 29 and 18

Given: Two concentric circles with AB tangent to smaller circle at R<br> Prove: AR=RB
disa [49]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If segment AB is tangent to the smaller circle, than AB⊥OR. Consider two right triangles AOR and BOR. In these triangles:

  • OR is common leg;
  • AO=OB as radii of larger circle;
  • ∠ARO=∠BRO, because AB⊥OR.

By HL theorem, ttriangles AOR and BOR are congruent. This gives you that AR=RB.
