Find the length of the radius of the circle.
a. r = 3 d. r = 5
b. r = 4 e. r = 6
c. r = 4.5

Answer 1

D) r=5

Explanation:

Any triangle formed with one side of the triangle being the diameter of the circle it’s inscribed in will be a right triangle.

6²+8²=c²

36+64=c²

100=c²

√100=c

c=10

So the diameter is 10. That makes the radius 5.
