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.

A and Ly started sung money at the same time for Christmas gis erika started with $100 and added $35 a week. Uly saved $60 a wee
Anna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Erika: y = 35x + 100

Ly: y = 60x + 25

60x + 25 = 35x + 100

25x + 25 = 100

25x = 75

x= 3 weeks

Erika: y = $35(3) + 100= 105 + 100 = $205

Ly: 60(3) + 25 = 180 + 25 = $205
