Question

The radius of circle O is 28, and OC=9. What is the length of line AB?

Answer 1

what's BC you think?

Answer 2

BC = AC, so whatever you get for BC, then AB is twice that much, since AB = BC + AB

Answer 3

Can you explain better because I am not getting any possible answers

Answer 4

well.. what did you get for BC?

Answer 5

Sorry my openstudy is acting up but I deleted it but it was somewhere in the hundreds

Answer 6

hundreds? the hypotenuse of the triangle is 28, and that is the largest side.. .so, it'd be less than that, recheck your simplification

Answer 7

well you said to use the Pythagorean Theorem

Answer 8

yeap

Answer 9

which is a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 10

yeap
