Referring to this diagram (self-made):
Question says:
In the given figure diameter of the circle is 3 cm. AB & MN are two diameter such that MN is perpendicular to AB. In addition CG is parallel to MN. AE:EB=1:2 and DF is perpendicular to MN and NL:ML=1:2, find the length of DH.
Using the ratios, I could formulate that AE=1cm and EB=2cm and NL=1cm and ML=2cm.
I could also find that MO=A0=BO=ON=1.5cm
Also, EOLH becomes a square of side 0.5 cm.
But can't figure out how to find DH.
Can someone please help.
Thanks a lot.
Answer
OD is a radius of the circle as well, so has length 1.5. OL has length 0.5. So by Pythagoras DL has length √1.52−0.52=√2. And HL has length 0.5 so DH has length √2−0.5.
