Answer:
<u>The length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = 40</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
let the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = x
so, the other segment = 50 - x
A chord of 50 cm bisects a chord of 40 cm
using the Intersecting Chords Theorem
so, x(50-x) = 20 * 20
50x - x² = 400
x² - 50x + 400 = 0
(x - 40)(x - 10) = 0
x = 40 or x = 10
<u>So, the the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = 40</u>
You know that one integer is a negative integer, as the product is negative- and if the sum is zero, then the absolute value of the two integers are equal. Thus, the integers are +/- sqrt(36). or +/- 6.
Example: 6 and -6
