Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

Yes for 7, that is what I did.

I am not following 8, where did you put C?

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

I put C on the circle so from m to b that is 1

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

ooooh but the radius of the circle is half the diameter So from M to c that is 2

Okay, I think Bob has something for you.

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

Q8

AMC = 90  You had that in the original diagram.

AM = MC = 1 = radius

So use Pythagoras

Bob

ps.  6F, 7A, 9D all seem to be done and correct.

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

So that makes it a right triangle So that means I  can use the Pythagorean theorum.

1^2 + b^2 = 2^2
1+b^2= 4

b^2= 4-1
b^2=3
b= √3

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

That's OK No apology needed.  Great that you spotted this yourself.

But look again at your calculation.

Which side (AM,MC or AC) is the hypotenuse?

AC is going to be the hypotenuse

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

So 2^2 +2^2= c^2
     4+4= c^2
     c^2=8
   sqrt 8

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

#10 I like my answer (D) because I know that 9 is the length of DJ and it is equal to 3√3 *√3

So the other side is 3√3 and the hypotenuse =  3√3 *2 which gives me 6√3 which is 6*sqrt(3)

Hi;

Isn't 8) 1^2 + 1^2 = c^2?

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

but AM is 2 and Mi is 2  so isn't AI going to be 2^2+2^2

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

Hi;

8. If I drew a line segment from A to C, and the radius of circle M was 1, what would line segment AC be?
A sqrt 7
B sqrt 2
C sqrt 8
D sqrt 13
E sqrt 4
F sqrt 3

Aren't they 1 not 2

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

if it  1^2 + 1^2 = c^2 that makes my first  answer (b) correct

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

From your original drawing AM is 1 and MC is 1 because they are radii. AC is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle. B should be correct. Why did you change?

1 is the radius but the diameter is 2

You do not need the diameter.

Re: Circles: Chords, Radii, and Arcs

So I add the radius not the diameter to get the hypotenuse ?

hi zee-f

I thought you were still trying to do 8.

I've looked back, and yes you did say (b) hours ago.

Oh dear .... got in a muddle there.

As for 10, that is strange.  I cannot find the answer I've got for this.

What's your working?

9 is the length of DJ and it is equal to 3√3 *√3

So the other side is 3√3 and the hypotenuse =  3√3 *2 which gives me 6√3 which is 6*sqrt(3)

I used the Special Right Triangles formula
