A Circle With Center F Name The Radiusname A Diametername A CordIf The Length Of FE Is 10 Units What Is The Length Of GJ X Units class=

Answer :

(a) A radius is a segment that joins the center of a circle to a point on the circle

From the diagram, the radius is:

[tex]\bar{FE}[/tex]

(b) A diameter is a segment that passes through the center of the circle and joins two points on a circle.

From the diagram, the diameter is:

[tex]\bar{GJ}[/tex]

(c) A chord is a segment that does not pass through the center of the circle and joins two points on a circle.

From the diagram, the chord is:

[tex]\bar{HI}[/tex]

(d) The relation between the lengths of the radius and the diameter is:

[tex]\text{diameter = }2\cdot radius[/tex]

From items a and b:

[tex]\bar{GJ}=2\bar{FE}[/tex]

Substituting with FE = 10 units:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \bar{GJ}=2\cdot10 \\ \bar{GJ}=20\text{ units} \end{gathered}[/tex]
