Suppose that ym has a length 12 in. and its distance from point l is 5in. find the radius of l to the nearest tenth

The radius of circle L is  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the figure the triangle VLM is a right triangle, because VL is pependicular to YM

so

LM is the radius of the circle (hypotenuse of triangle VLM)

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

substitute

------> is the radius
