Answer:

see proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

p1,p2 = half lengths of chord p

q1,q2 = half length of chord q

By the intersecting chord theorem,

p1*p2 = q1*q2,    substituting p1=p2, q1=q2

p1^2 = q1*2

Take square-roots and reject negative roots

p1 = q1

therefore

p1=p2 = q1=q2, or

two parts of one chord are equal to the two parts of the other.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter formula is P = 2L + 2W.  Here P = 34 units = 2L + 2(6.5 units).

Reducing this, 17 = L + 13.  Then L = 4 units.
