AB is chord of a circle with center O and OA is its radius OM ⊥ AB

Therefore, OA = 13 cm, OM = 12 cm

Now from right angled triangle OAM,

OA2 = OM2 + AM2 by using Pythagoras theorem,

132 = 122 + AM2

AM2 = 132 – 122

AM2 = 169 – 144

AM2 = 25

AM = 52

We know that OM perpendicular to AB

Therefore, M is the midpoint of AB

AB = 2 AM

AB = 2 (5)

AB = 10 cm
