Options:
a. 12.5 units
b. 15.0 units
c. 17.5 units
d. 20.0 units
Answer
d. 20.0 units
Explanation:
Find out the length of line segment GF .
To prove
In Δ GEF is a right triangle .
As shown in the diagram
GE = 10 units
EC = 7.5 units
By using the pythagorean theorem
Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²
GC² = GE² + EC²
= 10² + 7.5²
= 100 + 56.25
= 156 .25
GC = 12 .5 units
As shown in the diagram
CF is the radius of a circle .
CF = 7.5 units (As in the figure EC = 7.5 units)
GF = GC + CF
= 12 .5 units + 7.5 units
= 20 units
Therefore option (d) is correct .
Hence proved
