Question

Pls help with this problem

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

every triangle inscribed into a circle with the baseline being a diameter of the circle must be a right-angled triangle.

therefore,

angle XVY = 90°.

for VY we can use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the line opposite of the 90° angle, in our case XY).

XY = 2×ZY = 2×17 = 34.

so,

34² = 30² + VY²

VY² = 34² - 30² = 1156 - 900 = 256

VY = 16
