This would be easier for you if you put it in a graph
Answer:
If AB is a tangent to the circle, the triangle ABO is right angled, as the angle where a tangent meets the circumference is always 90 degrees.
We also know that Pythogoras' theorem only holds for right angled triangles.
The hypotenuse is 12 + 8 as 12 is the radius so is 20.
16^2+12^2 = 256 + 144 = 400 = 20^2 so AB must be tangent.
So it gives you the diameter but you need the radius of the circle to find the area so to find the radius you just divide the diameter by two. the formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2 so you just multiply 3.14 by 3 squared so you just put it in the calculator as A=3.14*3^2 and you get 28.26 hope this helped
