Answer:
diameter= 10cm
chord=8cm
Step-by-step explanation:
triangle AOC is right angled triangle
AC- base
according to Pythagoras theorem ,
hypotenuse ²= altitude ²+base²
so from that we can understand
base²=hypotenuse ²- altitude ²
AC²=AO²-OC²
=5²-3²
=25-9
=16
AC²=16
AC=√16=4
AC=CB
the perpendicular from the centre of the circle to a chord bisects the cord so AC=CB
AB=4+4=8cm
AO is radius so diameter is double AC that is 10cm
