What’s the correct answer for this?
。☆✼★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☾
A tangent to a circle forms a right angle with the radius
As it is a right angled triangle, we can use Pythagoras' theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Rearrange this for a side length:
a^2 = c^2 - b^2
Sub the values in:
a^2 = 6.5^2 - 6^2
a^2 = 6.25
Square root this for the answer
a = 2.5
Thus, your answer is option D

Answer:
2.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
As radius is perpendicular to tangent ,
LT [tex]\perp[/tex]KT
By pythagoras theorem:
LT² = LK² - KT²
LT² = (6.5)² - 6²
LT² = 42.25 - 36
LT² = 6.25
LT = 2.5 ft
LT = radius = 2.5 ft
