WORTH 50 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST NO FAKE ANSWERS NO PLAGIARISM OR WILL REPORT ALSO WRITE 4 SENTENCES. A nickel, a dime, and a quarter are touching as shown. Tangents are drawn from point A to both sides of each coin. In a short paragraph, explain what you can conclude about the four tangent segments?

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

These four tangents are all equal in length. By definition, you can draw two tangent lines from a point outside a circle that will touch the circle. These two tangent lines are always congruent. Looking at the two leftmost lines, they are tangents of the nickel, so we can say that they're congruent. Looking at the middle two lines, we see that they must be equal, as well, since they're tangent lines to the dime, but we notice that the second leftmost line is shared by the nickel and the dime. So, these three must all be congruent. By similar reasoning, the rightmost line is congruent to the other three. Thus, all four tangent lines have the same length.

Tangents drawn from the same point are equal in length.

Since the middle coin share tangents with the coins on either sides, all tangents are equal in length.

step-by-step explanation:

answer rather than having to add and subtract the measurements of the semi-circle, notice that the semicircle to the left of ad is actually identical in area to the blank semicircle-shaped space to the left of bc. so if we transferred the red semicircle into the blank space, we would end up with a square of side length 24 cm. the area of a square is s^2 = 24^2 = 676 cm^2.

u also answered this so i think u would know but i am here to
