Determine whether AB is tangent to the circle with center c

9514 1404 393

  yes, no, no

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle will be a right triangle if the sum of the squares of the two short sides, less the square of the long side, is zero. (This is what the Pythagorean theorem tells you.) The angle where the radius meets the circle must be a right angle if the line is to be a tangent.

__

a) 3^2 +4^2 -5^2 = 9 + 16 -25 = 0 . . . . AB is a tangent

__

b) 9^2 +15^2 -18^2 = 81 +225 -324 = -18 . . . . AB is not a tangent

__

c) 10^2 +48^2 -52^2 = 100 +2304 -2704 = -300 . . . . AB is not a tangent

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

because your just changing the position of where the shape is

i think 1: 2
