Question

In the following figure, O is the center of the circle. Find the of x and y. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=24, x=30

Step-by-step explanation:

from the external point two tangent lengths are equal y=24

take triangle OCP ( P is external point)

by Pythagoras theorem

x^2=24^2 +18^2

x^2=900

x=30

Answer 2

Answer:

30,24

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2= (24*24)+(18*18)

=576+324

=900

x=30

y=24
