Question

A chord of a circle of radius 13 cm is 24 cm long. What is the distance of this chord

from the center of the circle? help​

Answer 1

Answer:

√25=5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Dist. of half chord=24/2=12cm(since line drawn perpendicular to chords for the centre bisect the chord)

A right angled triangle is made;

By using Pythagoras Theorem:

(13)^2=(12)^2+x^2 (let dist between chord and centre=x)

169=144+x^2

x^2=169-144

x^2=25

x= √25=5cm

Therefore, the dist. between the chord and centre is 5cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution :-

⇒ OM = 5cm. Hence, the distance of the chord from the centre is 5cm.
