Problem: In the diagram if points A,B,CβC are points of tangency, then x equals:
Answer Choices:
A. 3/16β²β²
B. 1/8β²β²
C. 1/32β²β²
D. 3/32β²β²
E. 1/16β²β²
Solution:
The distance from the center of the circle to the intersection point of the tangents is 3/8.
β΄CD=83β+163β=169β=x+21β;β΄x=161β (inch).
