Hi!
There is a proven rule stating If two chords are congruent, then they are the same distance from the center of the circle.
In this case, the two chords are JR and OE. They are congruent, both being 3.8 units long. Therefore, they are both the same distance from M, the center.
Since both MA and ML intersect the chords JR and OE (respectively), at right angles, and the chords are congruent, then that means ML is congruent to MA.
Hope this helped!
A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane. In the given figure the segment that is congruent to ML is MA.
A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant; alternatively, it is the shape formed by all points in a plane that are at a set distance from a given point, the centre.
When there are two congruent chords in the same circle, then the distance between the chords and the centre of the circle is equal. Therefore, In the given figure the segment that is congruent to ML is MA.
