Answer:
(a)|MA|, |MB| and |MC|
(b) |BD|
(c) |BC|
Step-by-step explanation:
An adapted diagram of this question is attached. You can vary the labelled letters as required.
<u>Definition</u>
- A <u>radius </u>is a line drawn from the center of a circle to its circumference.
- A <u>segment </u>is a line that connects two points.
- A <u>diameter</u> is a chord which passes through the center of the circle.
- A <u>chord</u> is any line joining two points on the circles' circumference.
By these definitions:
(a)Segments that are radii of this circle.
We have: |MA|, |MB| and |MC|
(b)Segment that is a diameter of this circle.
|BD|
(c)A chord of this circle that is not a diameter.
|BC|
Applying the segment addition theorem, the length of line segment VW is: 2 units.
<h3>What is the Segment Addition Theorem?</h3>The segment addition theorem states that the sum of the lengths of two segments that make up a larger line segment equals the measure of the larger line segment, if the point on the line segments are collinear.
UV = 8x
VW = x+1
UW = 10
UV + VW = UW (segment addition theorem)
Substitute the values
8x + (x + 1) = 10
Open bracket
8x + x + 1 = 10
Combine like terms
9x + 1 = 10
Subtract 1 from both sides
9x + 1 - 1 = 10 - 1
9x = 9
Divide both sides by 9
9x/9 = 9/9
x = 1
VW = 8x + (x + 1)
Plug in the value of x
VW = x + 1
VW = 1 + 1
VW = 2 units.
Therefore, applying the segment addition theorem, the length of line segment VW is: 2 units.
