Step-by-step explanation:
Let O be the centre of the circle and AB and CD be the two parallel chords of length 30 and 16 cm respectively.
Drop OE and OF perpendicular on AB and CD from the O
OE⊥AB and OF⊥CD
∴OE bisects AB and OF bisects CD
(pependicular drawn from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects it)
⇒AE=

The chords are on the same sides of the centre:
∴EF=OF−OE=(15−8)=7 cm
