I really need help with this question
I think I use a^2 + b^2 = C^2 I just don't know what numbers to place where
For the radius, you would do a^2 + b^2 = c^2 with CM & OM
You know that CD is 44 so CM is half of that value.
so i have to find c^2
Yes
c2 would be the radius
Okay so I got sqrt 884 is that tight
YES √884 is correct for the radius. For part b, it is again the pythagorean theorem. use the radius that you found & the value for ON, which is 19. this time you are not solving for c^2, since you already found that (the radius) you are solving for b^2.
so it would be 19^2 + b^2 = sqrt884
Yeah, now algebraically solve for b^2.
okay this is were I get confused what do I do after 361 + b^2 = sqrt 884
It is √(884)^2 btw!!! So that actually just = 884!!!
oh thank you
so the answer is sqrt523
After you get 361 + b^2 = 884, you have to subtract 361 to get the variable (b^2) alone. The golden rule of algrebra is what you do to one side, you must do to the other so subtract 361 fro 884
Yeah, sorry I didn't realize you already posted the final answer! That's right!
thank now can you help me with the last one do I still use a^2 + b^2 = C^2
No! Since you already know half of EF (√523) you just multiply by 2
multiple 523 by two or the sqrt
all of it. (√523) x 2 = 45.74
Thank you so much for your help can you help with one more
uh sure haha
Here it is
I can't figure out what Theorem to use here
Oh I'm sorry! I don't really remember how to do those, that was so long ago in geometry lol, like I'm doing AP Calc now. You should post it as a new question & you'll get someone else to help! Sorry!
thank you
