a. Construct a radius from C to O.  Since CD=44 and OM is a right angle to the chord it bisects the chord, ergo CM=22.  We can use the pythagorean theorem to find CO.

 

22^2+20^2=CO^2

CO=sqrt(884) which is about 29.7

b. To find FNwe construct the radius from O to F and recall that its length is sqrt(884).  Then apply the pythagorean theorem to the new triangle

19^2+FN^2 =(sqrt(884))^2

361+FN^2=884

FN^2=523

FN=sqrt(523)

a)

Since OM is perpendicular to CD, it also bisects it. Then CM = 22. And we can find radius CO thusly..

CM^2 +  OM^2 = CO^2

22^2 + 20^2 = CO^2

884 = CO^2      take the square root of both sides

√884 = CO = 2√221

b)

OF^2 - ON^2 = FN^2     .....but OF = CO (since both are radii)

CO^2 - ON^2 = FN^2

884 - 19^2 = FN^2

884 - 361 = FN^2

523 = FN^2          take square root of both sides

√523 = FN

 

c) Since ON is perpendicular to EF it bisects it.....and FN = √523....so EF = 2√523 = 45.7
