Question

use the diagram below to find the lengths of the following answer question 18-25. Be sure to include all necessary work. Leave your answer in the simplest radical form when necessary.

Answer 1

18. AE = 6

19. BG = 6

20. CF = 5

21. GF = 2

22. CE = 3

23. AC = 3·√5

24. A_F = 10

25. DA = 3·(√5 - 1)

Explanation:

Whereby the point C is the center of the circle, we have;

CB = CG = CE = 3 = The radius of the circle with center at C

CE = 3

CF = √(4² + 3²) = 5 by Pythagoras' theorem

CF = 5

GF = CF - CG = 5 - 3 = 2

GF = 2

BG = CB + CG = 3 + 3 = 6

BG = 6

Whereby, BC is a tangent to the circle with center, C, we have;

A_F = √(8² + 6²) = 10 by Pythagoras' theorem

A_F = 10

AE = A_F - EF = 10 - 4 = 6

AE = 6

AC = √(6² + 3²) = 3·√5 by Pythagoras' theorem

AC = 3·√5

DA = AC - CD = 3·√5 - 3 = 3·(√5 - 1)

DA = 3·(√5 - 1).
