Question

a circle with center o and radius 5 has a central angle xoy. if the messurement of arc xy is 60, what is the length of chord xy

Answer 1

What do you mean by the measurement (note correct spelling) of arc XY?  The number of degrees, or its length?

 

I'll assume, here, that the arc is 60 degrees. So central angle XOY = 60^o means that triangle XOY is equilateral; therefore the chord XY has length 5 (same as radius).

 

It's very clear if you make the drawing.

Answer 2

The triangle XOY is equilateral because all angles =60 degree , XO =OY =5 -radius. XY is 5
