The segment GH and GI are tangent

Mathematics
1 answer:
vodka [1.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

  OG = 8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle a tangent makes with a radius at the point of tangency is a right angle. That means ΔOGH is a right triangle.

The tangents to a circle from an external point are congruent, so GH = GI = 6.3. Now we know the sides of the right triangle are of lengths 6 and 6.3. The hypotenuse, OG is found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  OG² = OH² +GH²

  OG² = 6² +6.3² = 75.69

  OG = √75.69 = 8.7

The length of OG is 8.7 units.

______

<em>Additional comment</em>

You might recognize this triangle as a 0.3 multiple of the Pythagorean triple (20, 21, 29).

Amy, Bruce and Carlos collected a total of 168 pounds of cans to recycle. Bruce collected 1/3 the number of pounds of cans Carlo
disa [49]
A + b + c = 168
b = 1/3c
a = b + c....a = 1/3c + c = 4/3c

now we sub
4/3c + 1/3c + c = 168
8/3c = 168
c = 168 * 3/8
c = 504/8
c = 63 <=== Carlos collected 63 lbs

a = 4/3c
a = 4/3(63)
a = 252/3
a = 84 <== Amy collected 84 lbs

b = 1/3c
b = 1/3(63)
b = 63/3 <== Bruce collected 21 lbs
b = 21
