I can’t see the picture — could you upload it or type the given lengths/labels?
Meanwhile, here’s how to solve it once you have the picture:
- If NM is tangent at M, then OM (radius to the point of tangency) is perpendicular to NM. So triangle ONM is right with right angle at M.
- Use the Pythagorean theorem: NO^2 = OM^2 + NM^2, so NO = sqrt(OM^2 + NM^2).
- Compute that value and round to the nearest tenth.
If you tell me the values of OM (the radius) and NM (the tangent segment) from the diagram I’ll compute NO and pick the correct choice.
