Draw the diameter FG, intersecting AB at H. \n" ); document.write( "The diameter FG is the perpendicular bisector of chord AB, so the length of GB is x/2. The given information \n" ); document.write( "Let GB = w \n" ); document.write( "Then BE = 6w \n" ); document.write( "Draw radius OB and look at right triangle OHB. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Then we can see FH=EB=6w, so \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "y is the length of EB, which is 6w = 72. \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: y = 72 cm \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
