If the blue radius below is perpendicular to the green chord and the segment AB is 11 units long, what is the length of the chord

If the blue radius below is perpendicular to the green chord and the segment AB is 11 units long what is the length of the chord class=

Respuesta :

B 22

11+11=22

AC is the chord

Answer:

B. 22 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular dropped from center to a chord bisects the chord.

In the given figure O is the center of the circle .OB is a perpendicular dropped from center of circle to the chord AC and hence it bisects the chord .

AB=BC= 11 units .

By addition of line segments :

Length of chord AC =  AB+BC =11+11 = 22 units.
