Question

If JK is tangent to circle L, find x​

Answer 1

Answer:

if JK is tangent that means it creates 90° with X that is the ray of the circonference.

to find X first you have to find L and to do so you use the inverse of pythagorean theorem cause you have the hypotenouse :

sqr( 25^2-1^2) = 24.97

now divide by 2 and you have 12.49
