Question

help me with this please.

x = ?

use socatoah

Answer 1

Answer:

26

Step-by-step 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

$x = \sqrt{ {24}^{2} + {10}^{2} } \\ \\ = \sqrt{576 + 100} \\ \\ = \sqrt{676} \\ \\ = 26$

Answer 2

Answer:

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
