In the given figure, AB is chord of a circle with centre O and BOC is a diameter. If OD⊥AB such that OD = 6 cm then AC = ?
(a) 9 cm
(b) 12 cm
(c) 15 cm
(d) 7.5 cm
Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
Right Answer is:
SOLUTION
(b) 12 cm
OD ⊥ AB
i.e., D is the mid point of AB.
Also, O is the mid point of BC.
Now, in Δ BAC, D is the mid point of AB and O is the mid point of BC.
∴ OD=12AC (By mid point theorem)
⇒ AC = 2OD = (2 × 6) cm = 12 cm
