The tangent line DC is perpendicular to the radius of the park

The length of AC is 245 feet

How to determine the distance AC?

To calculate the distance AC, we start by calculating the length of AB using:

DC^2 = (BC + AB) * BC

So, we have:

105^2 = (45 + AB) * 45

Evaluate the exponent

11025 = (45 + AB) * 45

Divide both sides by 45

245 = 45 + AB

Rewrite as:

AB + 45 = 245

From the figure, we have:

AC = AB + 45

Substitute AB + 45 = 245

AC = 245

Hence, the length of AC is 245 feet
