EXERCISE 11A
A chord of length 16 cm is drawn in a circle of radius 10 cm. Find
distance of the chord from the centre of the circle​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dear friend the answer is 6cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the chord is 16cm . and radius is 10cm. therefore the diameter will divide the chord into 8cm each parts. If centre is O and one end of the chord is A and then point in which the diameter divides the chord is P then in the right angled triangle OAP is 90 degree at P. Hence distance of chord from centre is root over 10^2 - 8^2 =root over 36 = 6cm. Thank you.
