Answer:

It is a right triangle.

So, using Pythagorean theorem: OS² = OR² - RS²

OR = r (radius) + 8

OS = r

RS = 16

=> r² = (r+8)² - 16²

r² = r² + 16r + 64 - 256

r² = r² + 16r - 192

16r = 192

r = 192 / 16 = 12cm²

a) 12 cm²

b) 12 + 8 = 20 cm²

Answer:

They are opposite angles. If you rotate the figure SQM 180 degrees counter clockwise, they will be the exact same triangle and therefore the exact same measure.

Find the slope of the line.

cricket20 [7]

Your slope would be -1/4x. If you look at the y-intercept on your graph, which is -2, you would start to count up one box and over 4 boxes to the left. We call this rise/run. So knowing what the slope is now, your entire equation would be y= -1/4x - 2. (Also, if the line is going up towards the left it is a negative slope, if it's to the right it is positive.) I hope this helps love! :)
