Question

BD and AC are chords that intersect at point Y. What is the length of line segment AY? 2 units 3 units 4 units 6 units

Answer 1

Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

BD and AC are chords that intersect at point Y. A circle is shown. Chords B D and A C intersect at point Y. The length of B Y is 3, the length of Y D is 8, the length of A Y is x, and the length of Y C is 6. What is the length of line segment AY?

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The Intersecting Chord Theorem states that:  When two chords intersect each other inside a circle,the products of their segments are equal.

do

In this problem

substitute the given values

solve for x

therefore

The length of segment AY is 4 units
