Does anyone know how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AJ and JB are congruent by tangents are congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm so lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. It is 78!! hahaha oops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay XD
