In the figure, TZ is tangent to the circle QPZ. Find x if TZ = 6 units and PQ = 9 units

A.

3

B.

4

C.

5

D.

6

Correct answer is A

In \(\bigtriangleup\)WOP, b2 = r2 - (4.502...........(i)

In \(\bigtriangleup\)WOT, b\(\bigtriangleup\) + (4.5 + x)2 = a2...........(ii)

In \(\bigtriangleup\)ZOT, a2 = 62 + r2 ..........(iii)

subst. equation (iii) and (i) in eqn (ii)

r2 - (4.5)2 + (4.5 + x)2 = 36 = 20.25

= (4.5 + x)2 = \(\sqrt{56.25}\) = (4.5 + x)

= 56.25

= 4.5 + x = 7.5

x = 3.0m

In the figure, PQRS is a circle with ST||RQ. Find the value of x if PT = pS

A.

70o

B.

55o

C.

40o

D.

35o

Correct answer is B

< PST = < RQT = x(corresponding angle)

< PST = < PTS = < PTS x (PS = PT0

< SRQ = < SPT = 180o (sum of < on straight line)

< SPT = 180o - 110o = 70o

in < SPT, < PST = PTS = < PSt = 180o

2x + 70 = 180o

2x = 180o - 70o = 110o

x = \(\frac{110^o}{2}\) = 55o

In the diagram, EFGH is a cyclic quadrilateral in which EH || FG, EG, and FH are chords. If < FHG = 42º and < EFH = 34º, calculate < HEG.

A.

34o

B.

42o

C.

52o

D.

76o

Correct answer is C

< EFH = < EGH = 34º (angles n the same segment)

< GHF = < GEF = 42º(angles in the same segment)

< FOG = 42 + 34 = 76º (exterior angle)

< FOG = < EOH = 76º (vertically opposite angle)

< EDO = 90º, < DOE = \(\frac{76}{2}\) = 38º

< HEG = 90º - 38º = 52º
