Question

I need help I can’t figure this out

Answer 1

Answer:

12.04 = BC

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent intersects at 90 degrees

We know AB and AC

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

AC^2 + AB^2 = BC^2

8^2 + 9^2 = BC^2

64+ 81 = BC^2

145 = BC^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(145) = BC^2

12.0415945 BC

To the nearest hundredth

12.04 = BC
