<h3>Answer: 45</h3>

The value is approximate.

==========================================================

Explanation:

Focus on the upper triangle.

Label the unknown horizontal side as y

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for y

a^2+b^2 = c^2

10^2 + y^2 = 26^2

100+y^2 = 676

y^2 = 676-100

y^2 = 576

y = sqrt(576)

y = 24

-----------

Now move to the bottom triangle

With respect to the reference angle, the side y = 24 is opposite this. The hypotenuse is unknown.

Use the sine rule to connect the two and solve for x

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(32) = y/x

sin(32) = 24/x

x*sin(32) = 24

x = 24/sin(32)

x = 45.2899179551967 which is approximate

x = 45 rounding to the nearest whole number

Side x is approximately 45 cm long.

Note: make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

A chord of a circle is 66cm long, it is 56 cm from the center of the circle. What is the radius of the circle?

Answer:

radius = 65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(See image attached for better comprehension)

To find the value of the radius, we just need to draw a triangle, where one side is half of the chord (the distance from the chord to the center creates a point that divides the chord in two equal segments), other side is the distance from the chord to the center, and the hypotenusa will be the radius.

So, using Pythagoras' theorem, we have that:

r^2 = 56^2 + 33^2

r^2 = 4225

r = 65 cm
