HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

STEP BY STEP :

IF IN ○ WITH CENTRE C

LET (AB )BE THE CHORD OF LENGTH 6cm AND( OP) BE THE DISTANCE OF CENTRE TO THE CHORD WHICH IS 4cm

NOW (OP) ⊥ (AB)

2AP=AB..... A PERPENDICULAR DRAWN from THE CENTRE OF THE CIRCLE TO THE CHORD BISECTS IT.

AP=3

OP=4

LET AO BE THE RADIUS OF CIRCLE

IN △ AOP , ∠ APO = 90°

BY PYTHAGORAS

AO ² = AP ² + OP ²

= 9 + 16

=25

TAKING √ ON BOTH SIDE

AO=5

RADIUS OF CIRCLE IS 5cm
