Answer:
A chord of length 24cm is 13cm from the centre of the circle.calculate the radius of the circle
-------------
13 cm from the center --> segments of r+13 and r-13
---
(r+13)*(r-13) = 12*12 = 144


r =~ 17.6918 cm

*Question:—
A chore of length 24cm is 13cm from the length of the circle.Calculate the radius of the circle.
*Answer:—
GIVEN:—
A circle with centre O, Radius AO = 13 cm, Chord AB = 24 cm
TO FIND:—
The perpendicular distance of the chord from O. Let it be called OM.
OM is perpendicular to the chord AB.
Perpendicular from the centre O to a chord bisects the chord. So AM = AB/2 = 12 cm
In right triangle AMO ,
Using Pythagoras’s Theorem,
→ AO² = AM² + OM²
→ 13² = 12² + OM²
→ 169 = 144 + OM²
→ OM² = 169 - 144 = 25
→OM = √25 = 5 cm.
