If AC = 5 cm, BC = 12 cm, and , the radius of the circumscribed circle is cm and mOAC°.
Send a picture?
Okay, well to find the length of AB just use pythagorean theorem which is your diameter, then cut that in half..
So how would I set that up? I know its a^2+b^2=c^2, but how would I set it up since its a circle
You would just use the measurements of the triangle..
so 5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
And then divide the square root of your c by 2 because you need the radius not diameter.
so it would be 6.5?
I didn't solve for it, but that seems to be about right. :P
Ok so what about the second part, what do I do for it?

Thank you so much !!!
You're very welcome! :D
