Question

In circle O diameter AB is perpendicular to chord CD at E. If AE= 16 and EB= 4 what is CD

Answer 1

Since AB is a diameter, we know that angle AEB is a right angle. Since CD is perpendicular to AB, angle CDE is also a right angle. Thus, we have a right triangle CDE with hypotenuse CD and legs CE and DE.

Since AE = 16 and EB = 4, we have AB = AE + EB = 16 + 4 = 20. Since AB is a diameter, its length is the same as CD. Thus, CD = 20.

Using the Pythagorean theorem in triangle CDE, we have:

CE^2 + DE^2 = CD^2
CE^2 + (CE + 4)^2 = 20^2
2CE^2 + 8CE - 144 = 0
CE^2 + 4CE - 72 = 0
(CE + 9)(CE - 8) = 0

Since CE cannot be negative, we have CE = 8. Thus, DE = 12.

Therefore, CD = AB = 20.

lizabeth and Izak record the number of miles they bike each day.The line plots show the distances they each biked for 5 days.How much greater was the shortest distance Izak biked than the shortest distance Elizabeth biked in 1 day?A line plot named A.14 mileB.12 mileC.114 miles D.112 miles8 / 147 of 14 Answered

It's difficult to provide an accurate answer without the line plots or a specific reference to them. However, you can find the answer by looking for the shortest distance each person biked and finding the difference between them.

For example, if on Elizabeth's line plot, the shortest distance she biked in one day was 5 miles, and on Izak's line plot, the shortest distance he biked in one day was 8 miles, then the difference between them would be 8 - 5 = 3 miles.

Without more information, it's impossible to provide a more accurate answer.

Answer 4

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!

Your attempt to use the Pythagorean Theorem is bogus.
It implies that CD is also a diameter!

In right triangle ACB, the altitude CE divides the hypotenuse into two parts, of length 16 and 4.
So,
CE^2 = 16*4
CE = 8
so CD = 2*CE = 16

You are absolutely correct! Thank you for pointing out my mistake. Yes, we can use the Pythagorean theorem in right triangle ACB to find the length of CE.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

AC^2 + CB^2 = AB^2

Since AB has length 20 and is a diameter, we have AB^2 = 20^2 = 400.

We know that AC is equal to CE + EB, or 16 + 4 = 20, and that CB is equal to CE. Thus, we have:

(CE + 4)^2 + CE^2 = 400

Expanding the left side and simplifying, we get:

2CE^2 + 8CE - 384 = 0

Dividing by 2, we get:

CE^2 + 4CE - 192 = 0

Factoring, we get:

(CE + 16)(CE - 12) = 0

Since CE cannot be negative, we have CE = 12, and therefore CD = 2CE = 24.

Thank you again for correcting my mistake!

To find the length of chord CD, we can use the relationship between the lengths of segments formed by a diameter and a chord that is perpendicular to it.

In this case, we have AE = 16 and EB = 4, and the diameter AB is perpendicular to chord CD at E. Let's label the intersection point of AE and CD as F.

To find the length of CD, we can use the theorem that states that the product of the lengths of the segments formed by the diameter and a chord that is perpendicular to it is equal.

So, AF * FE = DF * FC

Since AE = 16 and EB = 4, we know that AF = AE + EF = 16 + EF and FC = EB + EC = 4 + EC.

Now, let's substitute these values into the equation:

(16 + EF) * EF = DF * (4 + EC)

We don't currently have enough information to solve the equation, as we don't know the length of EF or EC. If you have additional information about the triangle formed by AE, EB, and CD, please provide it so that we can continue the calculation.
