Just so you know, there's no diagram
He should use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length.
Since KT is tangent to the circle and TL reaches the center of circle L, the measure of angle LTK is 90 degrees. This means that triangle LTK is a right triangle which means the Pythagorean Theorem can be used.
So,
TL²+(12)²=(13)²
=> TL²+144=169
=> TL²=25
=> TL = 5
Therefore, the radius of circle L is 5 feet.

Answer:
x = √30
Step-by-step explanation:
From small triangle BDC:
using Pythagorean theorem
CB² = BD² + DC²
x² = BD² + 3²
Fron triangles BDC and ADB.
ΔBDC has long leg BD and short leg DC.
ΔADB has long leg AD and shirt leg BD.
AD : BD = BD : DC
7 : BD = BD : 3
7*3 = BD*BD
BD² = 7*3 = 21
x² = BD² + 3² = 21+9 = 30
x² = 30
x = √30
