Answer:
[tex](B)r=\dfrac{85}{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a circle centre J
Let the radius of the circle =r
LK is tangent to circle J at point K
From the diagram attached
Theorem: The angle between a tangent and a radius is 90 degrees.
By the theorem above, Triangle JLK forms a right triangle with LJ as the hypotenuse.
Using Pythagoras Theorem:
[tex](6+r)^2=r^2+11^2\\(6+r)(6+r)=r^2+121\\36+6r+6r+r^2=r^2+121\\12r=121-36\\12r=85\\r=\dfrac{85}{12}[/tex]
The length of the radius, [tex]r=\dfrac{85}{12}[/tex]
