- The center of a circle of radius 3 inches is at a distance of 20 inches from the center of a circle of radius 9 inches. What is the exact length of common internal tangent AB? HINT: Use similar triangles to find OD and DP. Then apply the Pythagorean Theorem twice.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 17 to 30, use the formula A=12aP to find the area of the regular polygon described. Find the area of a regular pentagon with an apothem of length a = 6.5 in. and each side of length s = 9.4 in.arrow_forwardIf AC is a diameter of O, find the area of the shaded triangle. Exercise 17arrow_forward
- For compactness, the drop-down wheels of a stretcher or gurney are folded under it as shown. In order for the boards upper surface to be parallel to the ground when the wheels are dropped, what relationship must exist between AB and CD?arrow_forwardIn a particular type of regular polygon, the length of the apothem is exactly one-half the length of a side. What type of regular polygon is it?arrow_forwardIn terms of the apothem a and length of side s of the smaller regular pentagon, find an expression for the shaded area.arrow_forward
- Use a two-column proof to prove the following theorem: The lengths of the corresponding altitudes of similar triangles have the same ratio as lengths of any pair of corresponding sides. Given: DEFMNP; DG and MQ are altitudes Prove: DGMQ=DEMNarrow_forwardIn Exercises 17 to 30, use the formula A=12aP to find the area of the regular polygon described.
