Question

6. In a circle of radius 25 cm., PQ and RS are two parallel chords of lengths 14 cm. and 48 cm.
respectively. calculate the distance between the chords, if they are on (i) the same side of the
centre, (ii) the opposite sides of the centre.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Perpendicular dream from centre to chord bisects the chord. So by Pythagoras theorem,H=radius of circle= 13cm. P=perpendicular distance=12,and 'l' be the length of half chord( bisects the chord).. l=√(169–144)=5.
