Applying the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the radius is: 35.3 units.

<h3>How to Apply the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the sum of the squares of the shorter sides of a right triangle equals the square of the longest side. For example, if a and b are two smaller legs of a right triangle, and c is the longest leg (hypotenuse) of the right triangle, then the Pythagorean theorem states that:

a² + b² = c².

Given the following parameters of the right triangle:

Triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle ACB as the right angle according to the tangent theorem since segment BC is tangent to Circle A

Segment AB = 58 (hypotenuse of the right triangle)

Segment BC = 46 (small leg of the right triangle)

Radius = AC (small leg of the right triangle)

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

AC = √(AB² - BC²)

AC = √(58² - 46²)

AC = 35.3 units (to the nearest tenth).

Therefore, by using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the radius of the circle, which is segment AC, to the nearest tenth is: 35.5 units.

Which of the following segments is a diameter of O?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

ZX

Step-by-step explanation:

A diameter is a chord of a circle that passes through the center of the circle.

A chord of a circle is a segment inside the circle whose endpoints are on the circle.

Chords of the circle:

ZY, ZX, YW, UV

Of all those chords, only two pass through the center of the circle:

ZX, YW

Of the two diameters, only one is a choice:

ZX

Answer: B. ZX
