Given: tangents la and lb m∠aob=110°

find: m∠alo.

35°

Step-by-step explanation:

From any point outside a circle, the two tangents to that circle are always congruent to each other. This can be proven by taking the two triangles ΔLAO and ΔLBO and prove that they are congruent. From the upper triangle AO is congruent to BO because AO = BO = Radius. Also, LO is the same length for both triangles, therefore two equal sides. Moreover, the measure of an angle between the tangent to a point of the circle and the radius going from the center to that point equals 90°, so ∠LAO = ∠LBO = 90°. So these two triangles ΔLAO and ΔLBO are congruent by SSA postulate.

If m∠AOB=110°, then m∠AOL = 110°/2 =55°. Finally, the angles of every triangle always measures 180°, therefore:

m∠ALO = 180°-55°-90 = 35°

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
