Line t p is tangent to circle r. p t equals 24 cm and r s equals 18 cm. what is r t?

24 cm

30 cm

36 cm

42 cm

B) 30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

It forms a right triangle. We use the Pythagorean theorem and find the length of RT.

RT^2 = PT^2 + RS^2

RT^2 = 24^2 + 18^2

RT^2 = 576 + 324

RT^2 = 900

Taking the square root on both sides, we get

RT = 30 cm

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
