Algebra.Com's Answer #779600 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw this. \n" ); document.write( "The triangle formed by the line from the center to the chord. (perpendicular bisector) is 2 and the other leg (half the chord's length) is 3. The radius is the hypotenuse and is sqrt(13) cm.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The other chord has leg 1 and hypotenuse sqrt(13) \n" ); document.write( "so the other leg , half the chord, is sqrt (12) or 2 sqrt(3) \n" ); document.write( "Length of the chord is 4 sqrt(3) cm. \n" ); document.write( " |
