Examine the diagram of circle L, where segment KT¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is tangent to circle L at point T.
The diagram as described in the problem, with radius T L and segment L K drawn.
(Ik theres no diagram, chill)
If KT=6 feet and LK=6.5 feet, what is the length of the radius?
6 feet
0.5 feet
2.5 feet
6.5 feet
How did you get the answer right if there is no answer
WTF.
ppl make me so mad
SO WHAT IS IT!!
theres no answer , he just restated the question !
To determine the length of the radius, we can use the fact that a tangent line to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency.
Given that segment KT is tangent to circle L at point T, we can draw a line segment from T to the center of the circle we'll call O. This segment represents the radius of the circle.
Since LK is also given, which represents the distance from T to the radius drawn to the point of tangency, we can subtract LK from KT to find the length of TO, which is the radius of the circle.
TO = KT - LK
TO = 6 - 6.5
TO = -0.5
However, the negative value for the radius doesn't make sense in this context. The length of a radius cannot be negative.
Therefore, none of the given answer options are correct. It seems there may be an error in the problem or the given measurements.
