Question

What is the value of n?

Answer 1

The 2 segments of each chord, when multiplied by each other need to equal each other.

In the image one chord is made up of 4 cm and 6 cm and the 2nd chord is made up of 3 cm and n

Setting p the equation to solve for n you have:

4 x 6 = 3 x n

Simplify:

24 = 3n

Divide both sides by 3:

n = 24/3

n = 8 cm
