Question

What is the length of CO?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pythagorean theorem, eh?

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to do this is use the radius-tangent angle theorem thing...

It states that, a radius that intersects a point of tangency(I think that's what it's called) is perpendicular to the tangent. Thus, CW is perpendicular to OW!

Thus, it forms a right triangle, where we can use Pythagorean Theorem!

If you don't know what it is, check the internet! It's pretty simple.

$CW^2+OW^2=OC^2\\144+81=OC^2\\225=OC^2\\OC=15$

So, there you go! Hope this helps!
