CB is tangent to ⊙A at point C. Find the radius.

Circle A is shown. Line segment A C is a radii. Line segment B C is a tangent and it intersects with the circle at point C. A line is drawn from point B to point A and a point is drawn where the line intersects with the circle. The length of the radius is r, the length of C B is 8, and the length of B to the circle is 5.

CB ⊥ AC by the radius-tangent theorem, so ∠C is a right angle.

ΔABC is a right triangle, so apply the Pythagorean theorem.

Use the steps and solve for the radius.

r2 + 82 = (r + 5)2
r2 + 64 = r2 + 10r + 25

The vice president of programming at nbc is finalizing the prime-time schedule for the fall. she has decided to include a hospital drama but is unsure which of two possibilities to select. she has a pilot called the surgeon and another called critical care. to her make a final decision, a sample of 20 viewers from throughout the united states was asked to watch the two pilots and indicate which show they prefer. the results were that 12 liked the surgeon, 7 liked critical care, and one had no preference. state the decision rule, using the 0.10 significance level. h0: π = 0.50 h1: π ≠ 0.50 1. reject h0 if number of + signs is either < = or > = 2. what is your decision regarding h0? is there a preference for one of the two shows?
