Question

i'm doing this practice problem and i'm really struggling. if you be so kind to complete so it can help me comprehend. Please be sure to include a visual of the coordinate plane for questions 1 & 3. Thank you.

1)A pipe needs to run from a water main, tangent to a circular fish pond. On a coordinate plane, construct the circular fish pond at a given location and specify your center point and radius.

2)Write your circular fish pond equation.

3)On your coordinate plane, identify the point to represent the location of the water main connection. Construct the pipe so that it is tangent to the fish pond from the water main.

4)Discuss the steps that you used to create your tangent line.

5)Give an example of tangents in the real world that have not been presented in this lesson. Explain how you know the tangent and the radius in your example are perpendicular.

Answer 1

Here is the answer, please give your feedback

e) Tangents in real world

1. Tyre touching the road (The road becomes tangent, and the meeting point become the tangent about that point)
2. Shotput, Hammering throw, when we through the object after few rotation, the object is released from a particular point through its tangent
3. pulley system with belt, belt is the tangent here
