Question

Find the value of X in the circle below. Round answer to nearest tenth. Please help.

Answer 1

First find half the length of 32 so we would divide by 2....

\(\Huge{\frac{32}{2}=?}\)

Answer 2

16

Answer 3

Correct :) Now we see that x is the radius of the circle and that the length (32) is perpendicular to the leg (4) we can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve...

So...

\(\Huge{16^{2}+4^{2}=c^{2}}\)

Do you understand how I found this out?

Answer 4

272(squared)?

Answer 5

Correct :)

Now we find the sqaure root of 272...

\(\Huge{\sqrt{272}=x}\)

Answer 6

16.5?
