Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a circle centre J
Let the radius of the circle =r
LK is tangent to circle J at point K
From the diagram attached
- LX=6
- Radius, XJ=JK=r
- LK=11
Theorem: The angle between a tangent and a radius is 90 degrees.
By the theorem above, Triangle JLK forms a right triangle with LJ as the hypotenuse.
Using Pythagoras Theorem:
The length of the radius,
