Determine if YZ is tangent to circle x.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, XZ is suppose to have a length of 19 inches

YZ is not a tangent to circle x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If YZ is tangent to circle X at point Y

then

XYZ is a right triangle

Remember that

Any right triangle must satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem

so

substitute the given values

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, XZ is suppose to have a length of 19 inches

so

Triangle XYZ not satisfy the Pythagorean theorem

therefore

YZ is not a tangent to circle x
