Question

If L = 4 inches and KL = 7 inches, what is the length of the diameter JK? Round your answer to at least the nearest hundredth of an inch (2 decimal places).

Answer 1

We have a right triangle and two sides we will use the Pythagorean theorem in order to find the missing side

`c^2=a^2+b^2`

a=7 in

b= 4 in

c=JK

we substitute the values

`JK=\sqrt[]{7^2+4^2}`
`JK=8.06`
