I Dont Understand How To Prove Its Tangent Help Quickly Please class=

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

by using pythagorean theorem:

XW²+XY²=

(2×6.4)² + 9.6² =

12.8²+9.6²=

163.84 + 92.16= 256

WY²= 16²= 256

so, XW²+XY²=WY²

=> the WXY is a right triangle, and X is a right angle.

so XY is perpendicular to XW as the diameter of circle Z.

and XY is tangent to circle Z
