Answer:  The correct option is (B) 3.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given a circle X with radius 5 units and chord AB with length 8 units.

We are to find the length of segment XC that bisects chord.

We know that the line segment drawn from the center of a circle to the midpoint of a chord is perpendicular to the chord.

So, in the given circle X, the segment XC is perpendicular to chord AB. Then, triangle  XCB will be a right angled triangle with hypotenuse XB.

Since XC bisects AB, so the length of BC will be

BC=\dfrac{AB}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}=4~\textup{units}.

And, radius, XB = 5 units.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle XCB, we have

XB^2=XC^2+BC^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC^2=XB^2-BC^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC^@=5^2-4^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC^2=9\\\\\Rightarrow XC^2=3^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC=3.

Thus, the length of the segment XC is 3 units.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Surface area of a sphere is 615.752 m2, what is the volume of the sphere?
const2013 [10]

B

the volume (V) of a sphere = \frac{4}{3} πr³

We require to know the radius r to calculate the volume

using surface area of a sphere = 4πr² = 615.752

divide both sides by 4π

r² = \frac{615.752}{12.56} = 49.0248...

take the square root of both sides

r = \sqrt{49.0248..} ≈ 7, hence

V= \frac{4}{3} × π × 7³ = 1436.76 m³ → B
