State the size of angle OAB, giving a reason for your answer

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alja [10]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Angle OAB = 90°

Reason: tangent theorem of a circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram given shows a tangent line of the given circle with center O. The tangent touches the circle at point A.

The diagram also shows the radius of the circle, OA, drawn from the center to the circle to meet at the point of tangency.

Thus, according to the Tangent Theorem of a circle, the point at which the radius drawn from the center meets the point of tangency = 90°. The tangent is perdendicular to the radius drawn to meet at the point of tangency.

Therefore, angle OAB = 90°

Part A: Find a rational number that is between 7.7 and 7.9. Explain why it is rational. (2 points)
cluponka [151]
Part A.
7.8 is a rational number between 7.7 and 7.9.
It is rational because it can be written as a fraction of integers, such as 78/10.

Part B.
sqrt(60) = 7.75
sqrt(60) cannot be written as a fraction of integers. It is a decimal number that never ends and never repeats.

Paula and Kawai shared $312 in the ratio of 6:7. How much money<br> did each person get?
Maslowich

Answer:

Paula get \$144 and Kawai get \$168.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Paula and Kawai shared \$312 in the ratio of 6:7.

To find: How much money  did each person get?

Solution:

We have,

Paula and Kawai shared \$312 in the ratio of 6:7.

So, let Paula get \$6x and Kawai get \$7x.

As per the question,

6x+7x=312

\implies13x=312

\implies x=\frac{312}{13} =24

Therefore, Paula get 6\times 24=\$144, and Kawai get 7\times 24=\$168.

Hence, Paula get \$144 and Kawai get \$168.

A street lamp casts a shadow 31.5 feet long, while an 8 foot-tall street sign casts a shadow of 14 feet long. What is the length
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the height of the lamp is 18.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Street lamp shadow = 31.5 ft

Street sign height = 8 ft

Street sign shadow = 14 ft

Street lamp height = x

Process

1.- To find the height of the lamp use proportions. In this kind of problem, we do not look for the length, but the shadow.

Street lamp height/street lamp shadow = street sign height/street sign

                                                                                                         shadow

Substitution

                                             x / 31.5 = 8 / 14

Solve for x

                                            x = (31.5)(8) / 14

Simplification

                                            x = 254.4 / 14

Result

                                            x = 18.2 ft
