Question

Calculate OP if: r = 10cm and AB = 16cm

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given AB=16cm

so AP=8cm

draw a line OA

️OAP is a right angled triangle

apply Pythagoras theory

AO²=AP²+OP²

10²=8²+OP²

OP²=36

OP=6

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

AB= 16 cm

R =10cm(AO=10cm

OP=?

AP=8cm

Then use Pythagoras theorem

H^2=P^2+B^2

10^2= 8^2+B^2

100-64=B^2

√36=B

B=6cm( B is base which is OP)

So OP is 6cm
