Chords AB and CD of a circle intersect at E and are perpendicular to each other. Segments AE, EB and ED are of lengths 2 cm, 6 cm and 3 cm respectively. Then the length of the diameter of the circle (in cm) is
-
- √65
-
1 √65 2 - 65
-
65 2
Correct Option: A
As per the given in question , we draw a figure circle
Given , AE = 2 cm
EB = 6 cm
ED = 3 cm
∴ AE × EB = DE × EC
⇒ EC = | = 4 cm. | |
3 |
∴ Diameter = √7² + 4² = √49 + 16 = √65 cm
