Given: AG and CI are common internal tangents of .H and .B, HG =7, ED=18, and ED=EF. What is the measure of EC?@

@RadEn CAN YOU HELP ME PLZ

OpenStudy (raden):

EC = EI (let be x) HI = HF = HG = radius = 7 EH = FE + HF = 18+7 = 25 look at the triangle of HIE (it is a right triangle), use the pythagorean theorem to get EI so, EI^2 = EH^2 - HI^2 EI^2 = 25^2 - 7^2 solve for HI

OpenStudy (raden):

i mean solve for EI

OpenStudy (raden):

i already supposed EI be x so, x^2 = 25^2 - 7^2 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BUTI DONT KNOW THE MEASUREMENTS ARE THEY THE ONES YOU GAVE ME 7, AND 25

OpenStudy (raden):

from information above, HG = 7 nah, HI = HF = HG = radius = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I GOT 674

OpenStudy (raden):

still wrong

OpenStudy (raden):

EI^2 = 25^2 - 7^2 EI^2 = 625 - 49 EI^2 = 576 EI = sqrt(576) = 24

OpenStudy (raden):

because EC = EI so, EC = 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HOLD UP BUT HOW DID YOU GET 625

OpenStudy (raden):

25^2 = 25 x 25 = 625 note : ^ sign means square

OpenStudy (raden):

7^2 = 7 * 7 = 49

LOL IKNOW AND THANK YOU SO MUCH I LEARNED ALOT TODAY MY HEAD IS ACCTUALLY GOING TO BLOW UP :)

OpenStudy (raden):

you're welcome dont eat to more :) wkkkkkkkk
