#### Question

In the figure, chords AE and BC intersect each other at point D.
(i) If ∠CDE = 90°,
AB = 5 cm,
BD = 4 cm and
CD = 9 cm
Find DE.
(ii) If AD = BD, show that AE = BC

#### Solution

Join AB.
AB ^2 = AD^2  + DB^2
5^2 = AD ^2 + 4^2
AD^2 =  25 - 16
AD^2 9
Chords AE and CB intersect each other at D inside the circle
AD x DE = BD x DC
3 × DE = 4 × 9
DE = 12 cm
ii) If AD = BD .......(i)
We know that:
AD × DE = BD × DC
Therefore, DE = DC .......(ii)
