To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have three parallel chords of lengths 2, 3, and 4 units that subtend angles α, β, and α + β at the center of the circle, respectively. We need to find the value of cos(α). ### Step 2: Set Up the Geometry Let the center of the circle be O. The chords are AB, CD, and EF with lengths 2, 3, and 4 units, respectively. The angles subtended at the center are: - Angle AOB = α ...
