Question

What is the radius of circle O

Answer 1

Answer:

8.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

first we gotta find the length of the diameter. they made it into a triangle, so we can use pythagorean theorem.

15² + 8² = c²

225 + 64 = c²

289 = c²

17 = c

so now we know that the length of the diameter is 17 units, so the radius would be half of that.

17 ÷ 2 = 8.5

so the radius is 8.5
