Question

Using the diagram below, calculate the length of

Answer 1

@Jaynator495 @mathstudent55 @Shadow_helper @sweetburger

Answer 2

Radius PD is perpendicular to chord AB.
What happens if a diameter or a radius is perpendicular to a chord?

Answer 3

it bisects the chord and its arc

Answer 4

Triangle BDP is a right triangle. Have you considered using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse/radius BP? Note: we have to assume that point P is the center of this circle to use this method.

Answer 5

what mean that the point D is the midpoint of chord AB ?

Answer 6

so than how many is the length of BD ?

Answer 7

@mathmale, what is the Pythagorean Theorem?
I would like you to help me with this!

Answer 8

a human calc need to know the pythagora"s theorem

Answer 9

lol

Answer 10

If you have a RIGHT triangle, with sides a and b and hypotenuse c, then the following relationship is true:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2. That's the Pythagorean Theorem.

Answer 11

@jhonyy9, all the 50 medals I got for math is from helping 1st graders lol

Answer 12

Look at the triangle illustrated. Can you obtain from this picture the lengths of the 2 shorter sides of the triangle?

Answer 13

ok. sorry

Answer 14

Please focus on this math and save the joking for later.

Answer 15

yeah

Answer 16

what triangle @mathmale? You mean BDP?
@Kainui, it would be nice to see you here too.

Answer 17

Sorry, Nvid: I do not want to have to call for your attention again and again. Perhaps someone else could help you.

Answer 18

@Kainui can you help me here?

Answer 19

What can I say that @mathmale can't? I have nothing particularly insightful to say here
