The length of the chord x+y=3 intercepted by the circle x²+y²-2 x-2 y-2=0 is
Options
- A7 2
- B3 3 2
- C14
- D7 2
Correct answer
C. 14
Step-by-step solution
The centre of the circle is ( C (1,1) ) and radius of the circle is 2 , perpendicular distance from ( C ) on ( AB ), the chord ( x + y =3 ) ( aligned & CD = | 1+1-3 2 |= 1 2 & AD = 4- 1 2 = 7 2 [ AD = AC ²- CD ² ] aligned ) Hence, the length of the chord ( AB =2 AD =2 7 2 = 14 ).
