Radius of a circle is 5cm
therefore OA= 5cm
perpendicular drawn to the chord from the centre bisects the chord
therefore AM=MB
triangle OMA is right angled triangle at M
∠OMA=90°
by applying Pythagoras theorum
OA²= OM² + MA²
MA= √OA² − OM²
MA = √5² -3²
MA = √16
MA = 4
THEREFORE THE CORD OF AB = 2MA
AB = 8cm
