Question

3. JK is tangent to circle L. Find JL to two decimal places.

Answer 1

14.32

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can us the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 14^2 = JL ^2

9+196 = JL ^2

205 = JL ^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(205) = JL

14.31782106 = JL

To 2 decimal places

14.32
