OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
Are you given that this an equilateral triangle ? (that all sides of the triangle are equal )
OpenStudy (anonymous):
all I have is what I posted
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, so you need to set the triangle up in a ratio
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and since all tangents are congruent at the same circle, that means both sides (JL and JK) are congruent

okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Since JL is congruent to LK by tangents congruent, that means this triangle is an equilateral triangle
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now that you know that this triangle is equilateral, can you solve it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so then 13*2 + 19*2 + 7*2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, Equilateral triangles imply all sides are equal

so its 78
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh wait
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I still got 78
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, CK is congruent to BK because tangents are congruent.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
AL is congreunt to LC by tangents are congruent

AJ and JB are congruent by tangents are congruent
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Can you do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm so lost
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh okay XD
