Question 48

Diameter $\overline{AB}$ of a circle with center $O$ is $10$ units. $C$ is a point $4$ units from $A,$ and on $\overline{AB}.$ $D$ is a point $4$ units from $B,$ and on $\overline{AB}.$ $P$ is any point on the circle. Then the broken-line path from $C$ to $P$ to $D:$
  1. has the same length for all positions of $P$
  2. exceeds $10$ units for all positions of $P$
  3. cannot exceed $10$ units
  4. is shortest when $CPD$ is a right triangle
  5. is longest when $P$ is equidistant from $C$
    and $D$
