Answer:
When a perpendicular is drawn on the chord such that the chord is bisecting into two. Then the length of the chord will be halved, that is it becomes 8cm. Therefore, the distance of the chord from the centre of the circle is 6cm.

Step-by-step explanation:
length of the chord is = 16cm
AB=16cm
PB=8 cm
radius = 10 cm
angle P= 90°
distance of the chord form the centre of the circle
= (OP)²+(PB)²=(OB)²
=(OP)²+(8)²=(10)²
=(OP)²=100-64
= OP=6
distance of chord from the centre of circle. is 6cm
