Question

How would I do this problem? Find AB.

Answer 1

Given that AD appears tangent, I would suggest the tangent theorem, \(AD^{2}=AB^{2}\)

Answer 2

So AD squared is 196, then what do I do?

Answer 3

BC is 6 so AB will be 190 but that doesn't make sense

Answer 4

Not subtract, gawd I am not awake today.

Answer 5

\(AD^{2}=AB*BC\)

Answer 6

You would divide it. My bad, I apologize for the confusion.

Answer 7

So it is 32.7?

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

Nice work, and again, I am sorry for the confusion. Guess I better grab another cup of coffee and focus. :)
