SAT math question (i'm ****ed)

<p>OKay, this is for Test # 4 section 6 Math SEction in the collegeboard online course.</p>

<p><a href="http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/solidscreenie/***f.jpg%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/solidscreenie/***f.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>for this question, CANT IT BE 90 degrees and 270???</p>

<p>Heads up on Paris Hilton btw... LMAO~!~!!</p>

<p>censored part after solidscreenie/ is w.t.f.f (without periods)</p>

<p>then its solidscreenie/
then w.t.f.f (without periods) .jpg</p>

<p>What you just need to know is that the tangent line to a circle is perpendicular to the radius that touches the point of tangency. No if’s, and’s, or but’s. That’s just the rule.</p>

<p>im saying isnt the question sorta ambiguous tho? I know it was 90 degrees but I was thinking angle ABO could be 270 if you went the other way around…</p>

<p>It’s a fundamental rule in math to use only smaller value. It’s like walking around the world to get to your neighbor’s house. Technically speaking, it’s definitely a possibility but it’s just not realistic. Don’t get too technical on the SAT; I learned that the hard way :x</p>

<p>lolll good analogy haha aiite</p>

<p>Yep, 314159625 is right. The tangent to a circle is always perpendicular to the radius, no exceptions. The answer to this will be 90.</p>

<p>And yes, always take the smaller value of an angle. Not just in such a case, but in every case.</p>
