CAB= 180-42= 138/2= 69° as base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal
CAO= 90 as radius meets the tangent at 90°
OAB = 90-68= 21°
AOB= 180-(21+21)
=180-42= 138°
a²= b²+c²-2bcCosA
AB²= 7²+7²-2x7x7Cos138
AB²= 170.8281929
AB= √170.8281929
AB= 13.07012597cm
Or 13.1 to 3sf

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is an isoceles triangle (both legs are equally long). and AB is its baseline.

OC is now a median for ABC splitting the angle at C and AB in half.

so, we have 2 right-angled triangles : OAC and OBC.

the half-angles at C are 42/2 = 21°.

the angles at A and B are 90°.

and the half-angles at O are 180 - 90 - 21 = 69°.

remember that the sum of all angles in a triangle must always be 180°.

AB are the heights of both of these triangles.

the single height is sin(69)×7 = 6.535062985... cm

and so,

AB = 2× height = 13.07012597... cm.

4. find the real number roots. sqrt-0.25

Given is square root of a negative real number, i.e. $\sqrt{-0.25}$

When we find square root of positive real numbers, we get Real answers.

But when we find square root of negative real numbers, we get Imaginary answers. To solve them, we can split the given negative number into product of -1 and the number itself but with positive sign. e.g. -4 = -1 x 4.

For square root of -1, we use english letter 'i' called Imaginary unit i.e. $\sqrt{-1} = i$
