Question

Chords AB and CD intersect at point E, AE = 10, EB = 4, and CE = 8. Therefore, ED = A) 4 B) 5 C) 6 D) 7

Answer 1

If its on apex its b

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

It is given that two chords AB and CD intersect at point E.

Also, A E= 10, E B=4 , CE=8

So, By Intersecting chord Theorem

⇒A E × E B = CE × E D

⇒10 × 4= 8 × ED

⇒ 40 =8× DE

Dividing both sides by , 8 we get

DE= 5 unit

Option: B, DE=5 unit
