Since OP perpendicular to AB and
OQ perpendicular to CD and AB parallel to CD
poq is a st. line
ab=10cm, cd=24cm and pq is 17cm
ap=bp=half ab = 5cm and cq=dq=half cd =12cm
if oq=x cm ,then op= (17-x)cm
join oa nd oc
oa=oc=r(radius)
now in right angled triangle oap,
oa square=op square+ap square
=r square=(17-x)square+ 5square_ist equation
in right angled triangle ocq,
oc square=oq square+cq square
=r square=x square+12square_2nd equation
frm ist nd 2nd equations ,we get :
on solving we get x=5
r²=x²+12²
r²=5²+12²
r²= 25+144
r = 13cm
radius of the circle is 13cm.
