In the diagram, HK is tangent to Circle O. If HK is 24mm and the length from H to the
edge of the circle along OH is 18mm, what is the length of the radius of the circle?

The length of the radius of the circle is 7 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

If HK is tangent to circle O at point K

then

The radius OK is perpendicular to segment HK and triangle OKH is a right triangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

we have

substitute

solve for r

therefore

The length of the radius of the circle is 7 mm

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
