How does the area of triangle RST compare to the area of triangle LMN? is 2 square units less than the The area of △ RST area of △ LMN The area of △ RST is equal to the area of △ LMN The area of △ RST is 2 square units greater than the area of △ LMN The area of △ RST is 4 square units greater than the area of △ LMN.Jun 25, 2021
The radius is 10, so the diameter is 20. This means the parts of the diameter (the chord through the center P) to the left and right of the vertical chord have lengths 16 and 4, respectively.
Because the horizontal chord is a diameter, the vertical chord is cut in half, so its parts above and below the diameter both have length <em>x</em>.
Now, by the intersecting chord theorem,
16×4 = <em>x</em> × <em>x</em>
or
<em>x</em> ² = 64
so that
<em>x</em> = 8
Im pretty sure that the answer it is A. 7
because if you subtract 2 from 7 you get 5
