Question

JK, KL, and LJ are all tangent to circle O. If JA=8, AL=7 and CK=10, what is the perimeter of JKL?

Answer 1

tangent is the point where a line touches a curve

Answer 2

circle has the same length at all points from the center, so the first assumption would be that the triangle is equilateral

Answer 3

The perimeter is 50. thank you.

Answer 4

Good going, @nincompoop :)

Answer 5

at some point, this assumption will be wrong, but that means for a circle to be inscribed in a triangle and would touch at three points would have to be drawn from an incenter of a triangle
