Question

question 5 of 10 what is the length of the blue segment in ⊙a below? a. 12.94 units b. 6.47 units c. 10.54 units d. 5.27 units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relevant property

In a circle, if a line from the center is perpendicular to a chord, it bisects the chord. The blue - segment is part of a chord and the perpendicular from the center to the chord divides the chord into two equal parts. The length of the part of the chord from the foot of the perpendicular to the circle is given as 5.27 units.

Step2: Determine the length of the blue segment

The blue segment's length is equal to the length of the part of the chord from the foot of the perpendicular to the circle, which is 5.27 units.

Answer:

D. 5.27 units
