HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:-
By the pythagoras theorem,
OM² = MA²+OA²
OM²-OA² = MA²
10²-6² = MA²
8 = MA
The length of chord is 8cm
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU MATE AND PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLY

Given:-
Given that, radius of a circle is 10cm and distance of a chord from the centre is 6cm.
To find:-
We have to find the length of the chord (AB).
Solution:-
Let :
- X be the centre of the circle.
- AB be the chord.
- XA be the radius = 10cm
- XC be the distance between the chord and the centre = 6cm
Here, XC is perpendicular to AB. In a right angled ∆XAC, by pythagoras theorem :
- AC² + XC² = XA²
- AC² + (6cm)² = (10cm)²
- AC² = 100cm² - 36cm²
- AC² = 64cm²
- AC = √64cm²
- AC = 8cm
We know that, the perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to a chord, bisects the chord.
So,
- AB = 2(AC)
- AB = 2(8cm)
- AB = 16cm
