Answer:
radius ≈ 15.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the radius is RS
the angle between a tangent and the radius at the point of contact is 90°
then Δ RST is a right triangle
using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , then
RS² + ST² = RT² ( substitute values )
RS² + 7² = 17²
RS² + 49 = 289 ( subtract 49 from both sides )
RS² = 240 ( take square root of both sides )
RS = ≈ 15.5 ( to 1 dec. place )
Answer:
8.9 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
this seems like a problem where you can use the pythagorean theorem:
you know one of the two legs (6m) and the hypotenuse (9m), you must find the other leg
a^2 + 6^2 = 9^2
a^2 + 36 = 81
a^2 = 45
a = or
·
which simplifies to be 3
or approx. 8.9 meters
