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).

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

ser-zykov [4K]

parallel lines, have the same exact slope, hmmm what is the slope of y = -2/3 x + 1/3 anyway? well, low and behold, the equation is already in slope-intercept form, therefore

$\bf ~~y=\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}x+\cfrac{1}{3}~~$ has a slope of -2/3.

so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2/3 and runs through 9,4.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})~\hspace{10em}slope = m\implies -\cfrac{2}{3}\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-4=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x-9)\\\\\\y-4=-\cfrac{2}{3}x+6\implies y=-\cfrac{2}{3}x+10$

using the midpoint formula, solve for the midpoint of the segment with these pairs of endpoints (-11,30) and (-26,-2)

REY [17]

Answer:

Midpoint is $(\frac{-37 }{2}, 14)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint = $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2})$

= $(\frac{-11 -26}{2}, \frac{30 - 2 }{2})$

= $(\frac{-37 }{2}, \frac{28 }{2})$

= $(\frac{-37 }{2}, 14)$

Midpoint is (-37/2, 14)

These box plots show daily low temperatures for a sample of days in two

Mumz [18]

Answer:

C. The distribution for town A is symmetric, but the distribution for

town B is negatively skewed.

Step-by-step Explanation:

From the box plots attached in the diagram below, which shows data of low temperatures for town A and town B for some days, we can compare the shapes of the box plot by visually analysing both box plots and how the data for each town is distributed.

=> For town A, the shape of the box plot is symmetric because both quartiles seem equal, and the median also divides the rectangular box into two equal halves. Both whiskers also appear to be of equal lengths.

The box plot for Town A takes a symmetric shape, and this shows a typical normal distribution of data.

=> On the other hand, Town B data distribution is different. The median seem close to the top half of the box and does not divide the box into equal halves. This shows the distribution is skewed. Since the whisker is shorter from the upper end of the box to the left side, we can infer that the distribution for Town B is skewed to the left, and it is negatively skewed.

=> The right comparison of the shapes of the box plots is "C. The distribution for town A is symmetric, but the distribution for town B is negatively skewed."
