Homework Equations
(x-q)2+(y+5/2)2=r2
answer x= 2
The Attempt at a Solution
Hi, so my prefesor gave me this problem and told me to try to solve it. We already did this problem in school and got the answer that x=2.
The trick here is that I am not allowed to use:
the law of cosines
therefore I have tried to circumscribe a circle and found out that the center is located at
S(n,5/2)
and
T1=(0,4)
T2=(0,1)
I would now like to know if you guys could help me calculate the perimeter or alternatively if you guys could tell me about some other way to calculate x or θ
thank you
