As shown in the figure, in O, the chord AB = AC = 10, the chord ad intersects BC with E, AE = 4, and the length of ad is calculated

As shown in the figure, in O, the chord AB = AC = 10, the chord ad intersects BC with E, AE = 4, and the length of ad is calculated

Because chord AB = chord AC, arc AB = arc AC, so ﹥ BCA = ﹥ DCA. In △ ace and △ ADC, ﹥ ace = ﹥ ADC ﹥ CAE = ﹥ DAC, so AC / ad = AE / AC, so ad = AC & ﹥ 178 / / AE = 100 / 4 = 25
