Answer:
24 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude from the centre to the chord is 5 cm and bisects the chord.
The radius of the circle is 26 cm ÷ 2 = 13 cm
There is a right triangle formed with legs 5 and x ( x is half the chord )
The hypotenuse is the radius, then using Pythagoras' identity
x² + 5² = 13²
x² + 25 = 169 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = = 12
Then
length of chord = 2x = 2 × 12 = 24 cm

Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure can be shown to be a parallelogram by showing the sum of endpoints of the diagonals is the same.
A +C = B +D
(0, 6) +(0, -4) = (0, 2) = (3, 5) +(-3, -3) . . . . diagonals bisect each other
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, it is a parallelogram. A parallelogram with a right angle is a rectangle. So, ABCD is a rectangle.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The midpoint of each diagonal is half the sum of the end point coordinates. That is, the midpoints are (0, 2)/2 = (0, 1). Since calculation of the midpoints requires both sums be divided by 2, we can tell the midpoints are the same if the sums are the same.
