first, do you know the definition of the radius?

Answer 6

Yeah the radius is the line that goes from the middle to the end of the circle

Answer 7

Great! Now.... look at your picture again.... are their any places where you might want to create a triangle.....

Answer 8

there*

I guess to the right and left of B?

I say you can just pick a side. i would choose the left side.

Answer 11

you now have two sides of a triangle.... solve for the third

Answer 12

oh so i just solve for that triangular part and thats the whole answer?

Answer 13

nope after this we have one more step but i want you to see the process

Answer 14

ok so the triangle comes out to 14.5 and then what comes next

Answer 15

\[14.5 = \sqrt{10^2 + x^2}\]

Answer 16

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer 17

x^2 + 10^2 = 14.5^2

Answer 18

x^2 + 100 = 210.25

Answer 19

x^2 = 110.25

Answer 20

x= 10.5

Answer 21

Now, this portion of the triangle is part of the radius, right?

radius = AB + CA, where C= center of the circle

Answer 22

14.5 = AB + 10.5

Answer 23

AB = 5
