Re: Homework help?!

To confirm his answer in a complicated round about way:

Line Seg BC would create an iscoceles triangle because two sides are equal to the radius. Using laws of sine
8/sin (120) = r/sin30
therefore
d=2(8sin(30)/sin(120))
If you evaluate you get the same number approximately 9.237 or
16/(sqrt(3) or rationalized 16sqrt(3)/3

Hope I helped haha
