In the KLM isosceles triangle, the KL base is 24 cm long, and the arm measures 15 cm. What is the radius of the circle described by this triangle?

Correct answer:

r =  12.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

m=24 cm k=15 cm l=k=15 cm  x=m/2=24/2=12 cm  cos K = x/l  K=π180°arccos(x/l)=π180°arccos(12/15)36.8699   r=2 sinKk=2 sin36.869897645844° k=2 sin36.869897645844° 15=2 0.615=12.5=225 cm=12.5 cm
