Given:
Triangle LJK.
LJ = 89 in, LK = 28 in and m∠L = 42°
To find:
The length of missing side JK.
Solution:
LJ = k = 89
LK = j = 28
JK = l = ?
Using law of cosine:
Substitute the given values.
Taking square root on both sides.
The length of the missing side is 70.7 in.
Answer:
17 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 congruent chords in the circle, then they are equidistant from the centre and perpendicular
There is a right triangle formed by legs 15 and 8, with radius r being the hypotenuse.
Using Pythagoras' identity in this right angle
r² = 15² + 8² = 225 + 64 = 289 ( take the square root of both sides )
r = = 17
