Answer:
<u>AP = 13</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached figure.
CD = 10 and XY = 24
Line XY bisects and is perpendicular to AB and CD
∴ XY bisects at Y
∴ CY = 0.5 CD = 0.5 * 10 = 5
And from the geometry of the shape
P is the midpoint of XY
∴ XP = YP = 0.5 XY = 0.5 * 24 = 12
XY is perpendicular to CD
∴ ΔPYC is a right triangle at Y
∴ PC (hypotenuse) =
From the figure AP = PC = 13
