JL is a diameter of circle K. if tangents to circle K are construvted through points L and J, what relationship would exist betw
een the two tangents? explian
1 answer:
Check the picture below.
notice, the left-hand-side of the picture is the tangents segment theorem, both tangents are the same length and the point of tangency, in red, is always a right-angle, however note that they're touching a radius segment, not a diameter one, and the radii lines are slanted some.
notice the right-hand-side of the picture, the points of tangency at J and L are right-angles, and the two tangents at those points, will simply be parallel, and never touch each other.

So we are given a system:
Substitute x = 2 we get the system:
Multiply the first equation by -5 and the second by 2 we get the system:
Adding the two equations we get :
We find the value of y by using any of the other equations like this:
Final solution:
