Question

Determine if segment AB is tangent to the circle.

Answer 1

Answer: Segment AB is tangent to the circle

Explanation:

3 sides are 16, 20, and 12

If angle a is 90 then ab is tangent

now check using Pythagorean theorem

since 12^2 + 16^2 =20^2, this means angle a is a right angle meaning segment AB is tangent to the circle
