Question

#2 Find the segment length indicated. Assume that lines which appear to be tangent are tangent. *

Answer 1

The angle of a tangent and a radius is a right angle.

The missing length would be the hypotenuse. Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve.

X = SQRT(12^2 + 16^2)

X = SQRT(144 + 256)

x = SQRT(400)

X = 20
