Go by a process of elimination. I think we can safely say it's not 115.3
Well that idnt help well.
That line that measures 19 looks like it's longer than a radius.
im bad at maths
No you're not, just look at it like a game, try to find a reason to rule answers out.
Process of elimination won't always be helpful, So look at what you know. If you look at half of the line that measures 19 you can make a triangle whose hypotenuse is equal to the radius.
|dw:1396582324917:dw| so this is whats given
|dw:1396582389509:dw| do you know the length of that? remember that the chord is bisected perpendicular from a line from the center
I think you're complicating things for nothing.
ok well... theres a theorem that states in a circle, the perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle which means 19/2= 9.5 |dw:1396582757876:dw| and using the pythagoreom theorem, you can find x, which would be the radius so 5^2 + 9.5^2=x^2 solve for x
