Supposing the sides with 6 and 8 is a right angle, you can create a new line from C and P, and find the length using the equation of a²+b²=c² or 6²+8²=c², with c equaling the radius of the circle.
After finding c, you will have to find the length from C to the midpoint of AC, using the same equation a²+b²=c². If both the lengths of C to the midpoint of AC, and A to the midpoint of AC are equal, you can do b+b to find the length of AC.
Using the same approach, you can find AB. Hope this makes sense, if not, I can clarify more.
Given:
A bird was sitting 16 feet from the base of an oak tree and flew 20 feet to reach the top of the tree.
To find:
The length of the tree.
Solution:
A bird was sitting 16 feet from the base of an oak tree.
Vertical distance between bird and base = 16 feet
Then the bird flew 20 feet to reach the top of the tree.
Now, the vertical distance between bird and base = (16+20) feet
So, length of the oak tree is it the sum of 16 feet and 20 feet.
feet
feet
Therefore, the length of the oak tree is 36 feet.
Well, since half is when you divide something by 2, divide 30 by 2
Then, you get 15
So Kristen made 15 sundaes!
Hope this helped!
