Option B: TU $\cong$ TS PU $\cong$ TU

Option C: The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Explanation:

Given that the circle is inscribed in triangle PRT. Points Q, S, and U of the circle are on the sides of the triangle. Point Q is on side P R, point S is on side R T, and point U is on side P T.

The length of RS is 5, the length of PU is 8 and the length of UT is 6.

Option A: The perimeter of the triangle is 19 units.

The perimeter of the triangle is given by

Perimeter of ΔPRT = PU + UT + TS + SR + RQ + QP

Since, P, T and R are tangents to the circle and we know that "Tangents to a circle drawn to a point outside the circle are equal in length".

Thus, we have,

RS = RQ = 5

PU = PQ = 8 and

UT = TS = 6

Substituting the values in the perimeter of ΔPRT, we get,

Perimeter of ΔPRT = 8 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 8 =38 units

Thus, the perimeter of the triangle is 38 units.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B : TU $\cong$ TS PU $\cong$ TU

Since, P, T and R are tangents to the circle and we know that "Tangents to a circle drawn to a point outside the circle are equal in length".

Then TU $\cong$ TS PU $\cong$ TU

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

The length of PR is given by

PR = PQ + QR

Substituting the values RQ = 5 and PQ = 8, we get,

PR = 5 + 8 = 13 units

Thus, the length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Option D: The length of line segment TR is 10 units.

The length of TR is given by

TR = TS + SR

Substituting the values TS = 6 and SR = 5, we get,

TR = 6 + 5 = 11 units

Thus, the length of line segment TR is 11 units

Hence, Option D is not the correct answer.

The function f(x) = x2 has been translated 9 units up and 4 units to the right to form the function g(x). Which represents g(x)?
Alenkinab [10]

For this case, the parent function is given by:

f (x) = x ^ 2

We apply the following transformations:


Vertical translations:

Suppose that k> 0

To graph y = f (x) + k, move the graph of k units upwards:

For k = 9 we have:

h (x) = x ^ 2 + 9


Horizontal translations:

Suppose that h> 0

To graph y = f (x-h), move the graph of h units to the right

For h = 4 we have:

g (x) = (x-4) ^ 2 + 9

Answer:

The function g (x) is given by:

g (x) = (x-4) ^ 2 + 9

Riko wants to find the distance between the points (−2, −3) and (2, −5). His work is shown. Riko correct? Explain why or why not
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

I'm guessing you want to know the distance I think so the distance is √20

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula

√(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

√(2-(-2)^2+(-5-(-3)^2

√16+4= 20

√20

finding the square root gives you a long decimal which is 4.472135954999 and so on

Josiah bought 22 chicken wings for $26.40. How much would it cost for 9 wings?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

it would cost $10.8 for 9 chicken wings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 22 chicken wings = $26.40

we have to find first, cost of 1 chicken wings

For that we divide both side by 22

cost of 22/22 chicken wings = $26.40/22 = 1.2

Thus, cost of 1 chicken wings = $1.2

to fins cost of 9 chicken wings

we multiply both sides by 9

cost of 1*9 chicken wings = $1.2*9

cost of 9 chicken wings = $10.8

Thus, it would cost $10.8 for 9 chicken wings.

Evaluate f(g(5)) if F (x) = 5x + 2 and g (x) =X2 -4
Monica [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

g(5) = 5^2 - 4 = 25 - 4 = 21

f(21) = 5(21) + 2 = 105 + 2 = 107
