Alizard needs to stay a safe distance from a cactus. the diameter of the cactus is 14 inches. if the lizard is 8 inches from a point of tangency, find the direct distance between the lizard and the cactus (x). if necessary, round to the hundredths place.. a.. x = 3.63 in.. b.. x = 4.57 in.. c.. x = 7.26 in.. d.. x = 17.63 in..

What is the next step in the given proof? choose the most logical approach. a. statement: m 1 + m 2 + 2(m 3) = 180° reason: angle addition b. statement: m 1 + m 3 = m 2 + m 3 reason: transitive property of equality c. statement: m 1 = m 2 reason: subtraction property of equality d. statement: m 1 + m 2 = m 2 + m 3 reason: substitution property of equality e. statement: 2(m 1) = m 2 + m 3 reason: substitution property of equality
