The radius of circle o is 32 and oc=12 what is the length of ab
Based on the information provided, we know that OC is the radius of circle O, which is 32 units. We are also given that OC = 12 units.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the length of segment AB:
OC^2 + AC^2 = OA^2
12^2 + AC^2 = 32^2
144 + AC^2 = 1024
AC^2 = 1024 - 144
AC^2 = 880
AC = √880
AC = 29.7 (rounded to one decimal place)
Therefore, the length of segment AB is 2 * AC = 2 * 29.7 = 59.4 units.
