Question

question 8 of 10
true or false? the blue radius is perpendicular to the green chord.
a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Step1: Recall circle chord-radius theorem

A radius perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord, meaning the two segments of the chord are equal in length.

Step2: Compare chord segment lengths

The chord $AC$ is split into segments of length $6.7$ and $6.8$. Since $6.7
eq 6.8$, the chord is not bisected.

Step3: Conclude perpendicularity

Because the radius does not bisect the chord, it cannot be perpendicular to the chord.

Answer:

B. False
