Two chords AB and CD of a circle interse...

Two chords AB and CD of a circle intersect each other at P outside the circle. If `AB =6cm, BP = 2 cm` and `PD = 2.5cm` , find CD.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`CD = 3. 9 cm`
`AP xx BP = CP xx DP`
`implies 8 xx2 = (CD + 2.5) xx 25.`
`implies CD = 3.9 cm`
