Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Radius = 17 cm
length of chord =16 cm
we know that a perpendicular drawn from a center of the circle bisect the chord .
so the length of half chord becomes 8cm
as per pathagorours therom
17^2 = 8^2 + the distance of chord form center ^2
distance of the chord from center =√17^2 - √8^2
= √289 - 64
= √225
= 15 cm
