Answer:
- <em><u>5.6875 in</u></em>
Explanation:
At the point of tangency, the <em>tangent </em>to a circle and the <em>radius</em> form a right triangle (the radius is perpendicular to the tangent).
Here you are given the length of the tangent (6in), and the distance from the bisected vertex to the circle (2.75 in)
I tried to upload the drawing but the tool is not allowing it now.
In the figure:
- The length of the tangent (6 in) is one leg of the triangle
- The distance from vertex and the circle (2.75in) along with the radius forms the hypotenuse of the right triangle: 2.75 + r.
- The other leg is the radius, r.
Then, you can use Pythagorean theorem:
Solve:
- r² + 36 = r² + 5.5r + 7.5625
The solution is in inches: r = 5.6875 inches ← answer
I have a great list that might help you learn some octagon facts!
1. Umbrellas are in the shape of an octagon.
2. As a symbol, octagons symbolize regeneration, infinity, rebirth, and transitions.
3. Octagons are hard to draw...You can find Octagons anywhere if you just look... just kidding only around stop signs. Lol
4. Octagons have eight angles and eight sides.
5. Did you know that you can draw an octagon with just a compass and ruler.
There ya go!
Happy to help. Let me know if you have more questions or any concerns.
