u knw pythagoras theorem ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Umm sorta
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
good. we need to apply it here.
the little square at R means, its a right angle.
can u apply pythagoras theorem in triangle ORB ?
Still Need Help?

I think so. So would it be a²+b²=c² ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats right. can u apply the same in triangle ORB ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes :) So I think It has something to do with 45-45-90, right?

its not that difficult. il work this out for u. see if it makes sense.
in ORB right triangle, applying pythagoras theorem gives us :
OB^2 = OR^2 + RB^2
10^2 = OR^2 + 8^2
100 = OR^2 + 64
OR^2 = 100-64
OR^2 = 36
OR = 6
