1 answer:
Given:
JK is tangent to a circle with center H
To find:
The length of HK.
Solution:
The image is attached below.
JK = 8 mi, HJ = 15 mi
JK is tangent to a circle.
The tangent is always perpendicular to the radius.
Therefore, m∠J = 90°
Using Pythagoras theorem:
HK² = JK² + HJ²
HK² = 8² + 15²
HK² = 64 + 225
HK² = 289
HK² = 17²
Taking square root on both sides.
HK = 17
The length of HK is 17 mi.

So first you need to turn the percent into a decimal. So 23% would be 0.23 because you divide 23 by 100 to turn it into a decimal. Now you multiply 0.32 and 256. So:
So your answer would be 23% of 256 is 58.88. I hope this helps! =)
