The radius of circle O is 28, and OC =9. What is the length of AB?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer:
the complement of the question proposed one of the choices given beneath:
a) 58.8
b) 53.0
c) 29.4
d) 26.5

as we observe at the figure, AOB an isosceles triangle, and OCB is a right triangle

consider OCB
OC =9, OB= radius = 28
the problem is how to find the length of CA, for that C is a midpoint of segment AB, so AC=BC

BC can be found by using pythagorean theorem
OB²= OC² + CB², this implies CB² = OB² - OC²

CB² = 28² - 9² = 784 - 81=703, therefore CB= sqrt (703)=26.51

CB=26.51, since CB= AC, so AC=CB= 26.51

finally the <span>the length of AB is AB = 2 x CB = 2x AC= 2x 26.51= 53.0
</span>
the answer is b) 53.0

Answer:

Option(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are the two triangles, that are ABC and DEF, in which AB=8ft, DE=6ft, AC=10ft and DF=7.5ft.

For the two triangles to be similar, it must satisfy the similarity condition that is:

Both the triangles must have congruent angles and the sides should be proportional. Since, two sides of the given triangles are not proportional.Moreover, ∠A=25° and ∠D=24° which are not equal and ∠C=60° and ∠F=61° which are also not equal.

Therefore, Not all the angles are congruent, thus the triangles cannot be similar.
