Will someone like to help me with this question. I am freaking stuck on it and can't understand it. I need help please!!!! The question is...Determine whether a tangent line to circle O is shown in the diagram, for AB = 7.75, OB = 4, and AO = 8.75. Explain your reasoning. (the figure is not drawn to scale.)

Are you able to post or draw the diagram?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm guessing it looks something like this |dw:1416098021290:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or no?

I just attached it

ok great

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

In order for AB to be tangent at point B, we need to figure out if this angle ABO is a right angle or a 90 degree angle |dw:1416098141226:dw|
