Answer:
    33 1/3 percent smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.
a = b + b*.5
a = b(1.5)
Divide by 1.5
a/1.5 = b
2/3a =b
We want to find (a-b)/a  to find the percent decrease
                            (a-2/3a)/a *100percent
                              (1/3a)/a* 100 percent
                                   1/3 * 100 percent
                                      33 1/3 percent smaller

The chord that goes through the center of a circle, the diameter, is the longest chord in a circle.  Any other chord will be shorter than this.  The farther a chord is away from the circle, the shorter it will be.  This means that chord CD is shorter than chord AB.
