OY = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

XY = 2(24) = 48

The triangle is right angled:

OY = hypotenuse = ?

The center to the mid part of XY = 7

opposite = 7

Mid part of XY = 24

adjacent = 24

We would apply pythagoras' theorem:

Hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

OY² = 7² + 24²

OY²= 49 + 576

OY² = 625

OY = √625

OY = 25
