Three students are trying to find the diameter of circle C. Gregory believes the diameter is equal to the length of chord XY. Maria believes chord WY can be added to create the right triangle WZY. She also thinks the hypotenuse of ΔWZY has a length equal to the radius of the circle.

Jordan believes segment WZ lies on the diameter of the circle, and that if the diameter is drawn, he can make an equation relating the pieces of that diameter of the circle to the pieces of .

The student with the correct approach to finding the diameter is . The diameter of the circle is units.

What is a circle?

It is the center of an equidistant point drawn from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and the circumference.

Three students are trying to find the diameter of circle C.

Gregory believes the diameter is equal to the length of chord XY.

Gregory is incorrect.

Maria believes chord WY can be added to create the right triangle ΔWZY.

She also thinks the hypotenuse of ΔWZY has a length equal to the radius of the circle.

Maria is incorrect.

Jordan believes segment WZ lies on the diameter of the circle.

Jordan is correct.

Then the diameter of the circle will be

Let d be the diameter of circle.

(d – 27) · 27 = 36 · 36

        d – 27 = 48

                 d = 75 units
