Question

question 3 of 10
true or false? the blue radius is perpendicular to the green chord.
a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the property of radius and chord

If a radius is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord. That is, it divides the chord into two equal - length segments.

Step2: Check the lengths of the two segments of the chord

In the given figure, the two segments of the green chord have lengths \(7.1\) and \(7.3\). Since \(7.1
eq7.3\), the radius does not bisect the chord.

Answer:

B. False
