Concept explainers
a)
To show : WXYZ is a rhombus.
a)
Answer to Problem 22RP
WXYZ is a parallelogram. WZ and YZ are tangent segment.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information :
The length of
Formula Used:
WZ = YZ (both are tangents)
Since WXYZ is a parallelogram and adjacent sides are equal thus WXYZ is a rhombus.
b)
To find : The value of
b)
Answer to Problem 22RP
Explanation of Solution
Given Information :
WXYZ is a parallelogram. WZ and YZ are tangent segments.
Formula Used:
The length of
Calculation :
In
XP = ZP
[Diagonals of rhombus]
YP is common
XY = ZY
[Sides of rhombus]
Now OX = OY = radius
Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.
c)
To find : Perimeter of WXYZ.
c)
Answer to Problem 22RP
Perimeter =
Explanation of Solution
Given Information :
The given information is WY =
Formula Used:
Perimeter of WXYZ = Sum of all side.
Calculation :
As WXYZ is a rhombus.
Perimeter of WXYZ = WX + XY + YZ + W
d)
To find : The value of XZ
d)
Answer to Problem 22RP
XZ =
Explanation of Solution
Given Information :
The given information is WY =
Formula Used:
The point of intersection of the diagonals of a bisect each diagonal.
Calculation :
