In the diagram, $\overline{AC}$  is a radius of circle A. Is  $\overline{CB}$  tangent to circle A? Explain.

•  $\overline{CB}$  is not a tangent because  $13^2+27^2\ne30^2$  

•  $\overline{CB}$  is a tangent because  $13^2+27^2\approx30^2$   

•  $\overline{CB}$  is a tangent because  $13^2+27^2=30^2$ 

•  $\overline{CB}$  is not a tangent because  $13^2+27^2=30^2$
