Question

Help me like asap this is homework!!!

Answer 1

OA = 13

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²

a² = OC, the first base, or the radius of the circle, we use the variable x to denote this

b² = 12, this is the other base

x²+12² = (x+8)²

x²+144 = x²+16x+64

-x² -x²

144 = 16x+64

-64 -64

16x = 80

Divide both sides by 16, and you get:

x = 5

Hope this helps!
