Question

The figure below shows a circle with two chords JM and KL intersecting at point S.

Grace took the measurements of the line segments and wrote them down as shown.

Segment KS is 1.8 cm, segment SM is 2.5 cm, segment JS is 4.5 cm, and segment SL is 1.2 cm.

Describe the method you use to prove that Grace took incorrect measurements. Use geometric theorems to write a two-column proof.

@experimentX !! u dont have2 downlaod nothingg;)

Answer 3

AExEB = CExED

Answer 4

what method are you using??

Answer 5

when you multiply the the segments of chord ... they must be equal

Answer 6

ohh... okay! so basically shud i wright on the question??: I know that Grace took incorrect measurements because when you multiply the segments of a chord they must be equal.. & what about the second part of the question?

Answer 7

the geometric theorem part...

Answer 8

just write two column proof for first part ... you are not going to prove this relation right??

Answer 9

I think i have to correct her mistakes.... with a two column proof....? please help me do that... i suck at proofs

Answer 10

you don't have to correct ... you just need to show that she's is incorrect

-------------------------------------------
write her measurements and try to | reasons
show that product of those chords | reasons
are not equal which it should have | reasons
been equal | reasons
-------------------------------------------

Answer 11

oohhhh okay thanks:)

Answer 12

not so difficult job but ... a bit lengthy
