I need help I can’t figure this out

Answer:
12.04 = BC
Step-by-step explanation:
A tangent intersects at 90 degrees
We know AB and AC
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
AC^2 + AB^2 = BC^2
8^2 + 9^2 = BC^2
64+ 81 = BC^2
145 = BC^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(145) = BC^2
12.0415945 BC
To the nearest hundredth
12.04 = BC
