Which of the following represents a chord, but not a diameter, of the circle? a. ts, b. sn, c. tr, d. mn

A diameter goes straight across the circle and passes through the center point (point M). A radius stops at the center point, making the line go halfway across the circle (basically half the diameter). A chord goes across the circle, but does not go through the center point. Therefore, the answer is C, because it does not go through the center point.  

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

r = 78539458390583095803458309458039485093485 or just 3
