Running in Circles! 🏃🏻‍♂️📏 ⭕️

Master tangents! Practice problems on tangents perpendicular to radius using Pythagorean theorem.

The TANGENT is PERPENDICULAR to the RADIUS. Find the missing length using your knowledge of Triangles. 10 Fill in the blank. The length AC in the diagram may be represented by the expression x+8. To solve the above problem for the variable r you would have to use the Pythagorean theorem. Using your tools. Apply your algebra skills and the ‘Congruent Tangents’ theorem above to answer the following question. 20 What goes around, comes around! Try it again! 8 Find the measure of each tangent piece and enter them on the diagram. 4 13 9 The perimeter of triangle GEF above is 52. create and edit presentations online, for free.

What other application might this idea of a tangent being perpendicular to a radius of the circle have? In 2-4 sentences describe another real world application of this math. (keep it simple)
