Answer:
not tangent
Step-by-step explanation:
AB will be tangent to circle O if AB ⊥ BO. That can be tested by checking to see if AB, BO, and AO satisfy the Pythagorean theorem.
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 3.75 and 8 will be ...
hypotenuse = √(3.75² +8²) = √78.0625 ≈ 8.835
The length of AO is somewhat greater than that, so AB cannot be a tangent to the circle.

The angle ABO is obtuse.
