Question

Help please ! i believe it is A am i correct?





Compare the quantity in Column A with the quantity in Column B. PA is tangent to the circle at A.

Column A:AP Column B:AX

A. The quantity in Column A is greater.

B. The quantity in Column B is greater.

C. The two quantities are equal.

D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer 1

does it say anything about AZ being a diameter?

Answer 2

no , :/ only what i posted

Answer 3

ok one sec

Answer 4

ok if that 3 refers to a length and not a distance, then

6*3 = 2*x ... where x = length of AX

18 = 2x

18/2 = x

x = 9

So AX = 9 units

Answer 5

AP^2 = PQ*PZ

AP^2 = 4*13

AP^2 = 52

AP = sqrt(52)

AP = 7.2111

so AX is longer

Answer 6

thank you :)

Answer 7

np, this is why you should never go off of the drawing alone (since it's never to scale anyway)

Answer 8

very true.
