In the diagram, Circle O has a diameter of 34, AB= 16, and segment CD is perpendicular to AB. What is the length of XC?
\n" ); document.write( "There is a circle drawn with a vertical diameter. there is a chord drawn about half way down the bottom half of the diameter. and XC is from the middle of the chord to C at the bottom of the circle
\n" ); document.write( "UNDERSTAND THAT O IS CENTRE OF CIRCLE WITH 34 DIA.
\n" ); document.write( "AB IS A HORIZONTAL CHORD OF 16 LENGTH.X IS MID POINT OF AB
\n" ); document.write( "CXOD IS A VERTICAL DIAMETER.TO FIND CX?...IF SO THEN....
\n" ); document.write( "OC=34/2=17
\n" ); document.write( "IN RIGHT TRIANGLE OAX
\n" ); document.write( "OA^2=OX^2+AX^2
\n" ); document.write( "17^2=OX^2+8^2
\n" ); document.write( "OX^2=17^2-8^2=289-64=225
\n" ); document.write( "OX=15
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE XC=OC-OX=17-15=2 \n" ); document.write( "
