Question

3) The lenghts of two parallel chords of
circle and 6 cm and 8 cm. If the smaller
chord is at distance 4cm from the
centre,

What is the distance of the other chord from the centre ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two parallel chords of length 8 cm and 6 cm.

The distance between center and shortest chord (6cm chord) is 4cm.

So, the perpendicular distance from the center to the shortest chord is 4cm.

The perpendicular line from center to chord divides chord into two equal

parts.

So, the radius of circle is

3

=5.

Since the radius is 5.

The distance from center to largest chord is

Answer 2

★ Given...✒

The lenghts of two parallel chords of

circle and 6 cm and 8 cm. If the smaller

chord is at distance 4cm from the

centre, What is the distance of the other chord from the centre ?

★ Solution...✒

There are two parallel chords of length 8 cm and 6 cm.

The distance between center and shortest chord (6cm chord) is 4cm.

So, the perpendicular distance from the center to the shortest chord is 4cm.

The perpendicular line from center to chord divides chord into two equal parts.

So, the radius of circle is

➞ 3² + 4 = 5.

Since the radius is 5.

➞ 5² - 4² = 3.
