Question 54

The chords AB and CD ofa circle intersect at E. IfAE = 12 cm, BE = 20.25 cm and CE = 3 DE,thenthe length (in cm) of CE is:

Solution

By the property,

$$AE \times EB = DE \times CE$$

$$12 \times 20.25 = DE \times 3DE$$

$$243 = 3DE^2$$

$$DE^2 = 81$$

DE = 9 cm

CE = 3DE = 3 $$\times 9 = 27 cm
