Question

Given circle E with diameter CD and radius EA. AB is tangent to Eat A.

Answer 1

The hypotenuse is equal to the square of the other two sides. The length of AC from the diagram is 21.9feet

Application of pythagoras theorem

The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the other two sides

Given the following

Hypotenuse = 26 feet = CD
Base side = AD = 14ft

Required

Length AC

Use the theorem

26^2 = 14^2 + AC^2

AC^2 =  676 - 196
AC^2 = 480
AC = 21.9feet

Hence the length of AC from the diagram is 21.9feet
