Question

Help me with this please.

x = ?

use socatoah

Answer 1

this answer is not right because the Y is not 90 degrees the Z angle is 90 degrees so the answer should be 26

if the trangle is right trangle use Phythagoras

576-100=476=x²

x²=476

x=2√119

Answer 2

26

Explanation:

`In\: \odot Y,` WZ is tangent to the circle at point Z and YZ is radius.

`\therefore YZ \perp WZ`

(tangent radius theorem)

`\therefore m\angle WZY = 90\degree`

Since, side opposite to 90° angle is called hypotenuse.

So, x represents the length of hypotenuse of
`\triangle WYZ`

Thus, by Pythagoras Theorem

`x = \sqrt{ {24}^(2) + {10}^(2) } \\ \\ = √(576 + 100) \\ \\ = √(676) \\ \\ = 26`
