11 In circle R BC 5 and CE 12 Which values are not possible lengths for segments AC and CD respectively В A 6 and 10 B 3 and 20 C 4 and 15 D 12 and 13 class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) 12 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

BC x CE = AC x CD

5 x 12 = AC x CD

60 = AC x CD

A) 6 x 10 = 60, yes

B) 3 x 20 = 60, yes

C) 4 x 15 = 60, yes

D) 12 x 13 ≠ 60, so no

The values that are not possible lengths for segments AC and CD,

is 12  and 13

Option D is correct

Chords in a circle :

when two chords intersects in a circle , then the product of the length of segments of the chords are equal

Product of chords

From the given circle , the product of the measure of the segments are equal

[tex]AC \cdot CD= BC \cdot CE[/tex]

In circle R, BC = 5 and CE = 12

Substitute the values inside the formula.

[tex]AC \cdot CD= BC \cdot CE\\AC \cdot CD= 5 \cdot 12\\AC \cdot CD= 60[/tex]

Now we look at the options and see which one gives the product 60

[tex]6 \cdot 10=60\\3 \cdot 20=60\\4 \cdot 15= 60\\12 \cdot 13= 156[/tex]

The values that are not possible lengths for segments AC and CD,

is 12  and 13 because the product is 156 not 60.
