Question

find the length of the segment indicated. round to the nearest tenth if necessary. x 7 a. 7 b. 14 c. 3.5 d. 49

Explanation:

Step1: Recall circle - chord property

A perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. In the given circle, the perpendicular bisects the chord of length 7. So the two segments of the chord are equal.

Step2: Determine the value of \(x\)

Since the perpendicular bisects the chord of length 7, \(x = 3.5\).

Answer:

C. 3.5
