The Diagram shows a triangle inside a circle woth center O. the lengyhs of the shorter sides of the triangle are 12 cm and 16 cm. work out the area of the circle

Step-by-step explanation:
using pythagorean theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2
16^2=a^2+12^2
16^2-12^2=a^2
256-144=a^2
[tex] \sqrt{112 = a {}^{2} } [/tex]
10.5=a.(which is the diametre of the circle)
area of cirlcle=
[tex]pir {}^{2} [/tex]
=3.14×5.25^2
area=86.3
