Question

In the circle below, if AD is a diameter, and the chord BC = 48, find the length of the segment BP.

Answer 1

- The length BP is the half of length BC.

- The Diameter is AD and it divides the chord into two equal parts.

- Thus, BP is half of BC. This means that

`\begin{gathered} BP=(BC)/(2) \\ \\ BP=(48)/(2)=24 \end{gathered}`

Final Answer

BP = 24
