How'd you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find YD using right angled triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use Pythagoras theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you show work please and thank you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i tried that but how'd you find AY?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the part I don't get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r^2 = (30)^2 + YD^2 r=34 AY= 60/2 (radius is perpendicular bisector to any chord)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but wouldn't AD equal 30?.. not AY

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry AD. AY = radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... I think I get it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you wait one second while I work on it to make sure I got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but wait.. how'd you solve for r... u had two variables, I'm sorry for asking all these questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c'mon miss u hv the radius = 34 (check ques)
