The segment GH and GI are tangent

Mathematics
1 answer:
vodka [1.7K]3 years ago
8 0

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).

Simplify the expression using trigonometric identities (csc θ – csc θ · cos^2 θ).
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Solution given:

cscθ -cscθcos²θ

taking common

cscθ(1-cos²θ)

we have

1-cos²θ=sin²θ and cscθ=1/sinθ

now

1/sinθ*sin²θ

=sinθ

so

Explain, in writing, the steps in graphing and finding the solution to the system of equations.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Feel free to copy and paste:

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept. To do this, use y=mx+b. Plug the variables where m=1 and b=2. Slope of the line is m and y-intercept is value of b, so the slope is 1 while the y-intercept is (0,2). Any line can be graphed using two points, and using two x values to plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y values: 0=x+2 is (-2,0). Y-intercept is already known, so use the known values and make a table where x= -2,0 and y = 0,2. Now, graph the line using the slope, y-intercept, and known points (-2,0), (0,-2) to plot the graph. Coincidingly, the answer to solve your system of equations will be the x-intercept: (-2,0).
