Let P and Q be the positive x-intercept and the positive y-intercept, respectively, of the circle x2 + y2 = 64. Verify that the ratio of chords AB : P Q matches the ratio of the corresponding diameters. What does this data suggest to you? \n" ); document.write( "

document.write( "Notice that PQ = \"8%2Asqrt%282%29\";  AB = \"sqrt%2818%29%2Asqrt%282%29\".\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the ratio AB : PQ is the same as \"8%2Fsqrt%2818%29\", the ratio of the radii, and it is exactly the same as the ratio of the diameters.\r\n" );
