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.

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

In ΔABC, m∠B = m∠C. The angle bisector of ∠B meets AC at point H and the angle bisector of ∠C meets AB at point K. Prove that BH
solniwko [45]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔABC, m∠B = m∠C.

BH is angle B bisector, then by definition of angle bisector

∠CBH ≅ ∠HBK

m∠CBH = m∠HBK = 1/2m∠B

CK is angle C bisector, then by definition of angle bisector

∠BCK ≅ ∠KCH

m∠BCK = m∠KCH = 1/2m∠C

Since m∠B = m∠C, then

m∠CBH = m∠HBK = 1/2m∠B = 1/2m∠C = m∠BCK = m∠KCH   (*)

Consider triangles CBH and BCK. In these triangles,

  • ∠CBH ≅ ∠BCK (from equality (*));
  • ∠HCB ≅ ∠KBC, because m∠B = m∠C;
  • BC ≅CB by reflexive property.

So, triangles CBH and BCK are congruent by ASA postulate.

Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, hence

BH ≅ CK.
