17cm.
Answer:
Consider AB as as the chord of the circle with O as the centre
Construct OL ⊥ AB
From the figure we know that OL is the distance from the centre of chord It is given that AB = 30cm and OL = 8cm
Perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord
So we get AL = ½ × AB By substituting the values AL = ½ × 30
By division AL = 15cm Consider △ OLA
Using the Pythagoras theorem it can be written as OA2 = OL2 + AL2
By substituting the values we get OA2 = 82 + 152 On further calculation OA2 = 64 + 225 By addition OA2 = 289 By taking the square root OA = √289 So we get OA = 17cm
Therefore, the radius of the circle is 17cm.
