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°

Noor brought 212121 sheets of stickers. She gave \dfrac{1}{3} 3 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, end fraction of a sheet to

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

12 teachers will get 1/2 sheets each

Step-by-step explanation:

Noor bought 21 sheets of stickers

She gave 1/3 sheets to each 45 students

She wants to give teachers 1/2 of sheets

The question should be: how many teachers will she give

Total sheets=21

Students gets= 1/3 × 45

=45/3

=15 sheets

Remaining sheet= total sheets - students sheets

=21-15

=6 sheets

There are 6 sheets remaining for teachers

She wants to give 1/2 to each teacher

Then,

The number of teachers that will get =Remaining sheets ÷ each teacher's share

=6 ÷1/2

=6 × 2/1

=12 teachers

12 teachers will get 1/2 sheets each

Matthew manages the packaging department of his company. Yesterday, the department operated for only 4 hours due to a company pi

yKpoI14uk [10]

Alright, lets get started.

If Matthew wants to complete packages at an average rate of at least 39 packages per hour.

And they worked 4 hrs only due to picnic, yesterday, it means they have to make $39*4 = 156$ packages.

But they made only 112 packages means they are short of $156 - 112 = 44$ packages.

Suppose they are working today t hrs, and his department will complete 43 packages per hour today.

It means they are going to make 43 t packages today.

This 43 t packages includes those 44 too , which they are short of yesterday due to picnic.

So, average will be

$\frac{43 t - 44}{t} = 39$ (39 average given in question)

Cross multiplying

$39 t = 43 t - 44$

Adding 44 in both sides

$39 t + 44 = 43 t - 44 + 44$

$43 t = 39 t + 44$

Subtracting 39 t in both sides

$43 t - 39 t = 39 t + 44 - 39 t$

$4t = 44$

Dividing 4 in both sides

t = 11 hrs

Hence they have to woth 11 hrs today : Answer

Hope it will help :)

The diagram shows some land in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD. AB = 6 km, AD = 5 km and CD = 12 km Angle BAC = 30 The land is

Goshia [24]

Answer:

£495 million

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the total cost of the land, we need to first calculate the area of the land.

Step 1: Find area of right angled triangle ADC

AD = 5 km,

DC = 12 km

Area of the right triangle = ½*a*b

a = 5km

b = 12km

Area = ½*5*12

= 5*6

Area of ADC = 30 km²

Step 2: Find the area of triangle ABC

First, let's find the length of AC using Pythagorean theorem

AC² = AD² + DC²

AC² = 5² + 12² = 25 + 144

AC = √169

AC = 13km

Area of ∆ABC = ½*AB*AC*sin(30°)

= ½*6*13*0.5

= 3*13*0.5

Area of ∆ABC = 19.5 km²

Total area of the land = area of ∆ADC + ∆ABC = 30 + 19.5 = 49.5 km²

Step 3: calculate how much the land costs

If the land costs £10 million per km²,

Cost of 49.5 km² = 49.5 × 10 = £495 million

Which of these conditions might be true if polygons ABCD and KLMN are similar? The measures of corresponding angles of ABCD and

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: The correct option is

(A) The measures of corresponding angles of ABCD and KLMN are equal, but the lengths of corresponding sides of ABCD are half those of KLMN.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct condition that might be true if polygons ABCD and KLMN are similar.

Two polygons are said to be SIMILAR if corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional.

So, options (B), (C), (D) and (E) are not correct because they contradict conditions of similarity.

In option (A), we have

The measures of corresponding angles of ABCD and KLMN are equal. So, they must be congruent.

And the lengths of corresponding sides of ABCD are half those of KLMN.

So, we can write

$AB=\dfrac{1}{2}KL,~~BC=\dfrac{1}{2}LM,~~CD=\dfrac{1}{2}MN,~~AD=\dfrac{1}{2}KN\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{AB}{KL}=\dfrac{BC}{LM}=\dfrac{CD}{MN}=\dfrac{AD}{KN}=\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Therefore, the corresponding sides are proportional.

Thus, option (A) is true if two polygons are similar.

The fuel efficiency for a 2007 passenger car was 31.2 mi/gal. For the same model of car, the fuel efficiency increased to 35.6 m

Ierofanga [76]

We have been given that fuel efficiency for a 2007 passenger car was 31.2 mi/gal and the same model of car, the fuel efficiency increased to 35.6 mi/gal in 2012. Also, the gas tank for this car holds 16 gallons of gas.

We need to write a function and graph a linear function that models the distance that each car can travel for a given amount of gas up to one tankful.

Let represent the functions as $d_{1}(x)$ and $d_{2}(x)$ where $d_{1}$ and $d_{2}$ represent the distances traveled by car in years 2007 and 2012 and x represents the number of gallons. Therefore, we can express the required functions as:
