<u>Question 1</u>
If we let , then
.
Also, as bisects
, this means
.
Thus, by the intersecting chords theorem,
However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning FE=9
<u>Question 2</u>
If we let CE=x, then because AB bisects CD, CE=ED=x.
We also know that since FB=17, the radius of the circle is 17. So, this means that the diameter is 34, and as AE=2, thus means EB=32.
By the intersecting chords theorem,
However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning CE=8
