Where did I go wrong in this question?

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

If BC=15, and DC=28, what is the diameter of circle O?

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

28^2+r^2=(16+r)^2 784+r^2=225+30r+r^2 30r=784-225=559 559/30=18.6

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

where is the image ?

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

my answer doesnt fit any of the answer chocies

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

yes

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

solve for DO using pythagorean theorem then multiply it by 2 to get the diameter

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

nvm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):
