AB = [?]

Answer 1

Answer:ab=16

Explanation:

Answer 2

AB = 16

Explanation:

The radius of the circle = 10

From the center of the circle to B = 10 (radius)

Since a right angle is formed at point E, we can apply Pythagorean theorem to find EB.

Thus:

EB² = 10² - 6²

EB² = 100 - 36

EB² = 64

EB = √64

EB = 8

EB = AE = 8

therefore,

AB = AE + EB = 8 + 8

AB = 16
