Find the Diameter.

Geometry Level 3

What is the diameter of cirlce E F G EFG ?

Details and Assumptions:

  • S e g m e n t D B = 7.81 Segment DB = 7.81

  • S e g m e n t A B = 6 Segment AB = 6

  • S e g m e n t D A = S e g m e n t B E Segment DA = Segment BE


The answer is 10.

Since hypotenuse D B = 7.81 DB = 7.81 and leg A B = 6 AB = 6 , using the pythagorean theorem, we can figure out the value of leg D A DA , which is D A = D B 2 + A B 2 = 7.8 1 2 + 6 2 4.99961 DA= \sqrt { DB^2 + AB^2 } = \sqrt {7.81^2 + 6^2} ≈ 4.99961 Now that we know the value of D A DA , we can easily find the diameter of circle E F G EFG , as D A = B E DA = BE and E B G EBG = 2 B E = 2 D A = 2 ( 5 ) 2BE = 2DA = 2(5) , which is equal to 10 10 . So, the diameter of circle E F G = 10 EFG = 10 .
