In the following figure, with H as the center, segment MH is perpendicular to segment KJ, segment NH perpendicular to segment KL, and MK + KN = 11. Which equation is correct? Answer HN = NL JM + JK = 11 JM + NL = 11 JK + KL = 11
JM + NL = 11 because JM = MK and NL = KN
do you think you can help me on my latest question?
i'll try
ok hld on
In the figure below, segment QR is tangent to circle O and segment OS is parallel to segment QR. If a radius of O measures 12 units and angle R measures 45 degrees, which is the length of QR? Answer 28 24 20 18
thats the wrong figure chris
ok hld oon
ok - if we drop a perpendicular line for S to QR to a point we can call M we get a right angled triangle and since angle R is 45 degrees the two legs of the triangle are equal (because tan 45 = 1) and these are both equal to the radius 12. so RM = 12 and also since its opposite the radius OS, QM = 12 also. so QR = QM + MR = 24
angles Q and O are right angles because a line from center to point of contact of tangent is at 90 dgrees to it. and OS is parallel to QR.
thank you i appreciate this so much that you actually explain how you get the answers some people just gve me the answers and when i ask how they got it they get mad
gotta go now chris - its pretty late here in the uk and i'm pretty well beat!
ok see u later
yeah - a lot of guys just chase the medals
see u
