Question

Please help with this , gotta pass my test):

Answer 1

any ideas?

Answer 2

nope, not one /;

Answer 3

well, when you have one, then we can see how correct it is.

Answer 4

can you narrow it down any?

Answer 5

Is he correct?

Answer 6

@amistre64

Answer 7

tell me why you would want to pick that one and ill tell you if your reasoning is sound.

Answer 8

Because they're congruent?

Answer 9

can 2 line segments be congruent (the same size) and still not be tangent to a circle?

Answer 10

uhh I'm not sure

Answer 11

i just drew one that are congruent, but not tangent.

Answer 12

so he is not correct

Answer 13

is it given that they are congruent? or is that his own assumption?

Answer 14

its given

Answer 15

then that rules out D as the answer.

so we have to choose between B and C

Answer 16

his conclusion is about being tangent to the circle, do we have to know the radius to determine tangency?

Answer 17

No?

Answer 18

the radius will tell us nothing about tangency .. so B is pointless.

he is assuming by the way the picture is drawn that they LOOK tangent and therefore must BE tangent. but nothing indicates that as a valid conclusion

Answer 19

So C

Answer 20

C would be the one that makes the most sense to me yes

Answer 21

Thank You!
