just move the radius so it is pointing from the center of the circle to the point where the straight line touches the top right of the circle.  this gives you a right triangle which you can use the theorem of Pythagoras on.

anonymous · Answer

its simply 13, because if you join the point on the circle with the centre they form a right angled triangle. And all you have to find is the hypotenuse

$$\sqrt{(12^{2}+7^{2}}) = 13$$ I hope its correct

ohh.. its actually 6 instead of 12... you can change the value for 6 instead of 12 then the answer would be right
