Step-by-step explanation:in circle P, chord AB is 3 inches from the center and chord CD is 5 inches from the center. Chord CD is SHORTER than chord AB.
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.
