BC is tangent to circle A. Determine the length of AC . ANSWERS: 1) 3 2) 4 3) 5 4) 6

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane. The length of AC in the given figure is 5 units. The correct option is
3.
A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant; alternatively, it is the shape formed by all points in a plane that are at a set distance from a given point, the center.
In a circle, the angle between the radius and tangent is always equal to 90°. Therefore, we can write that in the given figure ΔABC, the triangle is a right angle triangle with ∠B as the right angle.
Now, for the triangle using the Pythagoras theorem we can write,
AC² = AB² + BC²
AC² = 3² + 4²
AC² = 9 + 16
AC = √25
AC = 5
Hence, the length of AC in the given figure is 5 units.
