Answer 1

Answer:

24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a circle with two chord BE and CD

BE and CD intersect at A

By circle chords intersection theorem we have

DA*AC = EA*AB

i.e. 8(15) = 5(AB)

Divide by 5 both the sides

AB =8(15)/5 = 8(3) = 24 units

Verify:

Let us check now whether chord intersection theorem is satisfied.

DA*AC = 8(15) = 120

EA*AB = 5(24) = 120

Since these two equal, we verify that answer is right.
