Answer:

c 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangent AB is tangent to circle D at point A. The angle made by a tangent to a circle and a radius of the circle at the point of tangency is a right angle. That means that angle is a right angle, and triangle ABD is a right triangle.

We can use the Pythagoren theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + 20^2 = (x + 10)^2

x^2 + 400 = (x + 10)(x + 10)

x^2 + 400 = x^2 + 10x + 10x + 100

400 = 20x + 100

20x = 300

x = 15

Henry knows that the circumference of a circle is 18mc006-1.jpg inches. What is the area of the circle?

The complete question is:
Henry knows that the circumference of a circle is 18π inches. What is the area of the circle?

Solution:
Circumference (C) of the circle can be written as:

$C=2 \pi r \\ \\ 18 \pi =2 \pi r \\ \\ r=9$

Using this value of radius, we can find the Area(A) of the circle.

$A= \pi r^{2} \\ \\ 
A= \pi (9)^{2} \\ \\ 
A=81 \pi$

Therefore, area of the circle having a circumference of 18π inches will be 81π inches²
