Answer:

The answer is indeed, 85/12 ; B

Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can use FOIL to solve for the hypotenuse then subtract the radius from the entire hypotenuse to find R. Since all radii are congruent.

[tex]11^2 + r^2 = (6+r)^2\\11^2 + r^2 = (6+r) (6+r)\\121 + r^2 = 36 + 6r + 6r + r^2\\121 + r^2 = 36 + 12r + r^2\\[/tex]

Simplify the rest. We also know that (6+r)^2 is the hypotenuse since angle JKL is a right angle as it is perpendicular to the center and is a tangent.
