whats the question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whats the value of x in the diagram
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry cant bye
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
draw a line form the centre of the circle to the end of the chord...
this will also have a length x
|dw:1367180337429:dw|
the line from the centre of a circle to the chord bisects the chord... so you are looking at a right triangle...
you will need pythagoras' theorem to find the length of x.
Hope this helps.
