Question

Given that CB is tangent to A at C, then the value of X is

Answer 1

Well just use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2. C squared in this case will be 30, It does not matter whether 24 is a or b^2 since we are still adding them. Now your equation should look like this

a^2+24=30 then….

a^2=30-24

a^2=6

a=square root of 6

Therefore your radius is square root of 6 or x=square root of 6
