In circle G,GH=6 and m∠HGI=90∘. Find the length of HI. Express your answer as a fraction times π.
3. Calculate HI: HI2=GI2−GH2 and HI=GI2−GH2
Step 1 :1. Use the theorem that the angle subtended by a diameter in a circle is always a right angle: Since m∠HGI=90∘, we know that GI is a diameter.
Step 2 :2. Use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle HGI: GH2+HI2=GI2
Step 3 :3. Calculate HI: HI2=GI2−GH2 and HI=GI2−GH2
