AD is a diameter of a circle and AB is a chord. If AD=34cm, AB=30cm, the distance of AB from the centre of the circle is :
1 answer:
Answer:
The distance is 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The chord and the diameter form one leg and the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The other leg, BD, has length ...
BD² +AB² = AD²
BD² = AD² -AB² = 34² -30² = 256
BD = √256 = 16
The segment from the center of the circle to the midpoint of the chord is the midline of triangle ABD, so is half the length of BD.
distance from AB to the center = 16/2 = 8 . . . cm

See picture attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the y-intercept of -2 and plot that on the graph. Then, use the slope of 1/2x to plot more points to help you draw the line. Remember rise over run. Go up one from the y-intercept and right two. If you need to, you can also go down one and left two.
Hope this makes sense.
