Answer:
AD = 15 cm , BD = 3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ ABC is similar to Δ ADE ( by the AA postulate )
then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is
=
( substitute values )
=
( cross- multiply )
8 × AD = 12 × 10 = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )
AD = 15 cm
AB + BD = AD , that is
12 + BD = 15 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
BD = 3 cm
Answer:
Here is the answer and explain it step by step
Step-by-step explanation:
Option A
Length of CD is 10 inches
<u><em>Solution:</em></u>
The diagram is attached below
Given that, Circle A and circle B are congruent
CD is a cord of both circles
AB = 24 inches
Radius = 13 inches
To find: length of CD
Draw a straight line connecting A and C
AC represents the radius of circle. Also given that radius is 13 inches, So AC = 13 inches
Given in question that AB = 24 inches
Therefore from figure, AO = AB/2 = 24/2 = 12
AO = 12
Let "b" be the length of CO
Therefore, CD = CO + OD = b + b
AOC forms a triangle, so we can use pythogoras theorem
Pythagorean theorem, states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of other two sides of the right-angled triangle.
By above definition for triangle AOC
Substituting AC = 13 and AO = 12 and OC = b
<em><u>Thus length of CD is:</u></em>
CD = b + b = 5 + 5 = 10
Thus length of CD is 10 inches
