Question

The length of HK¯¯¯¯¯¯ is 24 inches.

What is the length of HL¯¯¯¯¯ ?

6 in.

12 in.

24 in.

48 in.

Answer 1

the answer is 12 because hk crosses hl and L is right in the middle of hk which equals 24 and half 24 equals 12
since l is half of hk the answer has to be 12

Answer 2

(B) 12 inches

Explanation:

It can be seen from the figure that HK is the diameter of the circle, also itis given that diameter=HK=24 inches.

Now, we have to determine the length of HL,which is the radius of the given circle.

Since,
`HL=(HK)/(2)` (Half of the diameter)

⇒
`HL=(24)/(2)`

⇒
`HL=12inches`

Therefore, the length of HL is 12 inches.
