Answer:

Radius of circle is given as 22.39 cm

Explanation:

Given data:

GHIJ is rectangle which is inscribe in a circle such that prependicular lie on one side of traingle form by joining the diagnol of rectangle is 6 cm

and angle is given as 15 degree as shown in figure given below

we know that


tan\theta = (prependicular)/( base)

so we have


tan\theta = (6)/(x)


tan15 = (6)/(x)

tan 15 = 0.267 {from calculator}

so we have

x = 22.39 cm

hence the radius of circle is given as 22.39 cm
