The radius of the circle is given to be r = 14.5
Let the center be O. So OB is the radius = 14.5
We can draw a triangle as shown in the image below. We have a right angled triangle. We know the hypotenuse and the base, we need to find the perpendicular side. This can be done using the Pythagorean theorem.
So, we can write:
Thus, the measure of OA = 10.5
OB = OA + AB
14.5 = 10.5 + AB
⇒
AB = 4
