Now the circular segment ADB is reflected about this mirror AB such that the resulting circular segment ATB is tangent at point T and divides the diameter into lengths of 4 and 2. So the the total length of the diameter is 4 + 2 = 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, consider the center of this semi circle is P. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we know the radius of a circle is = 1\/2 * Diameter = 1\/2 * 6 = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, from this we can conclude that, the length of PT is ( 3 &#8211; 2 ) = 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, construct a circle with center as&nbsp;P\u2018 through the points&nbsp;A,&nbsp;T, and&nbsp;B. Since the original circular segment&nbsp;ADB&nbsp;is from a circle with center as P&nbsp;and with radius 3, the reflected circular segment&nbsp;ATB&nbsp;is also from a circle with center&nbsp;P\u2018 and with a radius of 3. ( If this doesn&#8217;t blow your mind, then you have no human emotions : P ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore,&nbsp;P\u2018 is the reflected image of&nbsp;P&nbsp;about the chord&nbsp;AB&nbsp;since both centers are equidistant and a distance of 3 from&nbsp;A&nbsp;and&nbsp;B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally construct&nbsp;P\u2019T it will be perpendicular to the diameter of the circle with center as P, and the length of the P\u2019T will be 3 (P\u2019T is the radius of the circle with center p&#8217;). Now, we can only focus on the right angle triangle PTP\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In right triangle&nbsp;PTP\u2019, we can use the Pythagoras Theorem to find the length of&nbsp;PP\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1627296764197.jpg?resize=1024%2C476&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Solution Image 2\" class=\"wp-image-14038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1627296764197.jpg?resize=1024%2C476&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1627296764197.jpg?resize=300%2C139&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1627296764197.jpg?resize=768%2C357&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1627296764197.jpg?resize=1536%2C714&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1627296764197.jpg?w=1904&amp;ssl=1 1904w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>(PP\u2019)<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;= 1<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;+ 3<sup>2<\/sup><br>PP\u2019&nbsp;= \u221a10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&nbsp;C&nbsp;be the midpoint of&nbsp;PP\u2019.
