Circle X is shown. Line segment X Y is a radius. Line segment Y Z is a tangent that intersects the circle at point Y. A line is drawn from point Z to point X and goes through a point on the circle. The length of the line segment from point X to the point on the circle is 8, and the length of the line segment from the point on the circle to point Z is 9.
What must be the length of ZY in order for ZY to be tangent to circle X at point Y?

14 units
15 units
16 units
17 units

i believe it is 15

14 units

15 units    should be 15 units

16 units      NOT

17 units

answer: input the dimensions of the room to be painted. click the button to calculate the amount of paint and man-hours needed for this job.

interior paint coverage depends on the brand of paint used. the coverage amount is listed on the label of the paint can. use this to adjust the values in the paint coverage section below. paint usually is applied at 350 to 400 square feet per gallon (primer at 200 to 300 square feet per gallon).
