In the circle below, AB is parallel to CD, AD is a diameter of the circle, and AD = 36.What is the length of AB? Express your answer in terms of pi.
Since AD is a diameter, then ABD will form a right triangle with angle ABD = 90°
So...angle ADB = 40°
And we can find AB as :
sin (40) = AB / 36
AB = 36 * sin (40) = 23.140353948732 ≈ 7.3658 pi units
