The segment GH and GI are tangent

Mathematics
1 answer:

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).

A) (0,0) and (3,1)

1-0 divided by 3-0

Slope is 1/3

the slope represents the relationship between x and y

b) (6,2) and (-3,-1)

-1-2 divided by -3-6

Slope is 1/3

c) yes, the two triangles represent the same slope as all of the four points used are collinear (on the same line), making all the slopes equal.
