Question

43. A chord of length 16 cm is drawn in a circle of
radius 10 cm. The distance of the chord from
the centre of the circle is :
(a) 6 cm
(6) 9 cm
(c) 12 cm
(d) 8 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Length of the chord = 16cm

Radius of the circle = 10cm

Solution:

The given problem is to find the distance,

Let take triangle OMB, AB = 16 BM = 8 M,

midpoint of the line AB OB^2 = OM^2+BM^2

10^2 = OM^+8^2

100 = OM^2+64

OM^2 = 100-64 = 36

OM = 6

Therefore distance of the chord from the center of the circle is 6 cm...
