Q:

Chord AC intersects chord BD at point P in circle Z.AP=12 mDP=5 mPC=6 mWhat is BP?Enter your answer as a decimal in the box._______ m

Accepted Solution

A:
In this question, we have to use the intersecting chord theorem, and the formula which is[tex] AP * CP = BP * DP [/tex]In the given circle, values of AP, CP and DP are 12m, 6m and 5m respectively .Substituting the values in the formula, we will get[tex] 12*6 = 5BP [/tex]Dividing both sides by 5[tex] BP = \frac{72}{5} = 14.4 m [/tex]
