Answer:
D) 3.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways this problem can be solved. Maybe the easiest is to use the Law of Cosines to find angle BAC. Then trig functions can be used to find the length of the chord.
__
In triangle BAC, the Law of Cosines tells us ...
a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)
A = arccos((b² +c² -a²)/(2bc)) = arccos((8² +6² -3²)/(2·8·6)) = arccos(91/96)
A ≈ 18.573°
The measure of half the chord is AB times the sine of this angle:
BD = 2(AB·sin(A)) ≈ 3.82222
The length of the common chord is about 3.8 cm.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Another solution can be found using Heron's formula to find the area of triangle ABC. From that, its altitude can be found.
Area ABC = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) . . . . where s=(a+b+c)/2
s=(3+8+6)/2 = 8.5
A = √(8.5(8.5 -3)(8.5 -8)(8.5 -6)) = √54.4375 ≈ 7.64444
The altitude of triangle ABC to segment AC is given by ...
A = 1/2bh
h = 2A/b = 2(7.64444)/8 = 1.911111
BD = 2h = 3.822222
Interesting question
Usually when you look at something like that construction, you think that AB has been bisected by PQ and that the two segments are perpendicular. They are perpendicular but nowhere is that stated. So the answer is C because all the other answers are wrong.
PQ is congruent AB is not correct. As long as the arcs are equal and meet above and below AB there is no proof of congruency. In your mind widen the compass legs so that they are wider than AB and redraw the arcs. You get a larger PQ, but it has all the original properties of PQ except size.
PQ is not congruent to AQ. How would you prove conguency? You'd have to put both lines into triangles that can be proved congruent. It can't be done.
The two lines are not parallel. They are perpendicular. That can be proven. They meet at right angles to each other (also provable).
Answer:
Im pretty sure (6,-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
A and m’s value is 6 values apart on the x axis so I’d go 6 over and then it’s -7.5 with the y value but point m is already .5 above so you’d have -7. Hope it’s right and makes sense- I’m sorry if it’s not.
