Question

*Chord AB ≅ chord PQ. If chord AB is at a distance of 5cm from the center of the circle then what is the distance of the chord PQ from the center of the circle?*

1️⃣ 5 cm
2️⃣ 10 cm
3️⃣ 2.5 cm
4️⃣ 3 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

By a property of circles we know that

Equal angles are equdistant from the centre of the circle

Thus If AB = PQ

They are also equidistant from the centre

As AB is 5 cm away from the centre

PQ is also 5 cm away from the centre
