Answer: The triangle ACD is the right angle since it is a triangle in a semicircle. The length of AC from the diagram is 21.9feet
Explanation:
Application of pythagoras theorem
The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the other two sides
From the given circle, the triangle ACD is right angle since it is a triangle in a semicircle
Given the following
Hypotenuse = 26 feet = CD
Base side = AD = 14ft
Required
Length AC
Use the theorem
26^2 = 14^2 + AC^2
AC^2 = 676 - 196
AC^2 = 480
AC = 21.9feet
Hence the length of each leg of the triangle below is 21.9feet
