Question

If the radius of a circle is 10 cm then what is length of largest cord of same circle?

Answer 1

Solution :

• Chord : A chord is a line segment which joins two points lying on the circumference of a circle.
• Largest chord : We know that the largest chord of a circle is its diameter.

It is given that the radius of the circle is 10 cm.

Then, the length of the diameter

= 2 * 10 cm

= 20 cm

∴ the length of the largest chord is 20 cm.
