In the diagram below of circle o, chords AB and CD intersect at E. If CE = 10, ED = 6, and AE = 4, what is the length of EB?

AWARDING MAX POINTS

The length of EB is found 15

Step-by-step explanation:

As the diagram of the circle is not given in the question, I've found the diagram of the same question from internet and attached below. So that we can have a better understanding)

We can see in the diagram the chord AB and chord CD intersect each other at point E.

Each of the chord is divided into two segments.

According to the Intersecting Chords Theorem:

Products of the lengths of line segments on each chord are equal

Which means that

(AE)(EB) = (CE)(ED)

Substitute the given values;

(4)(EB) = (10)(6)

4(EB) = 60

EB = 15

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
