Answer:
sqrt(277) =x
x is approximately 16.64331698
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle since 14 is tangent to the circle and 9 is a radius
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem
a^2 +b^2 =c^2
9^2+14^2 =x^2
81+196 = x^2
277 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(277) = sqrt(x^2)
sqrt(277) =x
