Segment BC is 3 inches long.
The diagonal of the rectangle is 8 inches.
What is the length of segment AB?
Solution to the Problem:
Here is the solution:AB = 5 inches.
The diagonal of 8 inches is equal in length to the radius of the circle since the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
Since segment AC is a radius, it too is 8 inches long.
Segment AB equals segment AC - segment BC, then AC = 8 - 3 = 5 inches.
