The answer is 290 but I solved this by mean
To do this problem, you need to use the Pythagorean thermion I think.
Here is what I got as an answer
22.5 km
Answer:
3x - 24 = 81
3x = 81 + 24
3x = 105
x = 105 / 3
x = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
i. Let t be the line tangent at point J. We know that a tangent line at a point on a circle, is perpendicular to the diameter comprising that certain point. So t is perpendicular to JL
let l be the tangent line through L. Then l is perpendicular to JL ii. So t and l are 2 different lines, both perpendicular to line JL.
2 lines perpendicular to a third line, are parallel to each other, so the tangents t and l are parallel to each other.
Remark. Draw a picture to check the
