Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Congruent Triangles</u>
The figure shows two triangles FCD and FED. One of their sides is the radius of the circle, they both form a 90° angle with the line CD and ED and they share the same segment FD.
Thus, both triangles are congruent and we have the length of a side (12 units), one common side (the hypotenuse) and one unknown leg that must be equal. Therefore
Solving
The required side FD is the hypotenuse of any of the triangles. The unknown leg can be calculated by
Or
Thus
Solving
1/3 ft. = 4 inches
The answer is 5 inches.
Hope this helps.
