How do you find the chord? Don't just give me the answer bc im not gonna learn anything that way. What is the length of chord ? Possible Answers: 25 29 14 20
Attached is the theorem you will need for this problem.
Thanks
Set up the equation, and let's see how it goes.
My problem doesn't look like the example in the equation sample so im kinda stuck?
You have some other theorems to use to get ready to apply the first theorem. If a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, it bisects the chord and its arcs. So, the two segments of chord AB are congruent. Assign x as the length of both segments.
Question: What is the measure of the diameter of the given circle?
Now, you are ready to use the theorem: x * x = 25 * 4 Solve for x. @Arianna.Stephen
2x=100
I think thts wrong?
x times x is not 2x; just as 5 times 5 is not two times 5. Try again.
\[x^{2}=100\]
Yes, so what is the value of x?
\[10^{2}\]
x squared = 100 so x = 10 and the chord = 10 + 10 = 20
Ok thank you <3
