Question

AB is tangent O. If AO=48 and BC=100. What is AB?

Answer 1

If AO=48, and it is a radius, and CO is a radius as well, and all radii in a circle are equal, AO=CO=48

Since CO=48, and BC=100, we can add them together to get the total length of BO, which is 148

then, using the pythagorean theorem, AB^2=BO^2-AO^2

AB^2=148^2-48^2

AB=√(148^2-48^2)=140
