Question

How would i do this?

Answer 1

@perl

Answer 2

do what?

Answer 3

How to do the problem... Just a guidance

Answer 4

well tangents from an external point are equal...

so if JA = 10 then JB = 10

if KC = 9 then KB = 9

so JK = JB + KB so JB = 10 + 9 JB = 19

I'll let you finish.... and using this idea you should be able to find the length of each side and thus the perimeter

Answer 5

oops should read JK = 19

Answer 6

yea haha i was wondering where that was

Answer 7

but @campbell_st im not sure where or how this leading to the conclusion?

Answer 8

apply the same reasoning to the other sides

side JL = JA + LA

side LK = LC + KC remember about tangents form an external point LC = LA

you aleady know JK = 19

Answer 9

do i add them once im done?

Answer 10

once you find the 3 side lengths... just add the sides for the perimeter

Answer 11

Ok can i tell you my answer?

Answer 12

sure

Answer 13

This is just a prdiction before i finish the work lol 66?

Answer 14

nope... not 66

So A ?

Answer 21

that's my guess

Answer 22

Guess? lol

Answer 23

@campbell_st

Answer 24

Is this C ?

Answer 25

so you have a semi circle from z to w... so that's 180

plus the arc from W to X which is 63

so by adding them... that would be my guess

Answer 26

So am i right? or are you telling me its D ?

Answer 27

well 180 + 63 = ..?

Answer 28

243

Answer 29

that's my guess
