Algebra.Com's Answer #24156 by rapaljer(4671)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a right triangle is inscribed in a circle, then the legs of that right triangle will be the base and altitude of the triangle, and the hypotenuse of the right triangle will be the diameter of the circle. To find the area and circumference of the circle, you need to find the diameter (and radius!) of the circle.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If altitude = 4 and area = 28, then \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, Let d= diameter of the circle, which is also the hypotenuse of the right triangle. According to the Theorem of Pythagoras: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember that the radius is HALF of the diameter, so if r= the radius, then \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Circumference = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R^2 at SCC\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
