In the figure, two equal circles with centre H and K respectively intersect at points A and B. AB intersects HK at N. HPNQK is a straight line. If AB=HK=10 cm,
find PQ

The above question is similar to question 1:
https://hk.knowledge.yahoo.com/question/question?qid=7014111700003

But AN=NB is not provided in this question, how can I find it or using another
method to do this question?
Thank you!

JoinAH, AK, BH and BK.

AH = AK = BH = BK (radii of equal circles, radii of same circle)
Hence, AHBK is a rhombus.
AN = BN = (1/2)AB = 5 cm (diagonals of rhombus bisect each other)
HN = KN = (1/2)HK = 5 cm (diagonals of rhombus bisect each other)
AN⊥KN (diagonals of rhombus⊥eachother)

In rt.∠-ΔANK :
AK² = AN² +NK² (Pythagorean theorem)
AK² = (5 cm)² + (5cm)²
AK = 5√2 cm
Radius of each circle = 5√2 cm

HPNQK is a st. line.
HK = HQ + PK - PQ
Hence, PQ = HQ + PK - HK
PQ = (5 cm) + (5 cm) - (5√2) cm
PQ = (10 - 5√2) cm

The above is one of the methods to solve the problem.

Amendment :

The last two lines should be :
PQ = (5√2 cm) + (5√2 cm) - (10) cm
PQ = (10√2 - 10) cm ...... (Ans)

PQ = HQ + PK - HK
= (5√2 cm) + (5√2 cm) - (10) cm
= (10√2-10) cm

By symmetry, AN = NB.

I think saying in this way is acceptable.

If some teachers are more stubborn, then you claim AKBH is a rhombus and use its properties.
