Question

In a circle of radius 17cm, Find the distance of a chord of length 16 from the centre​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

radius=17 cm

chord length (d)=16 cm

if we draw a perpendicular bisector to chord from centre of length l

then we will have two right angle triangle

with sides 17,8 and d

since they form right angle triangle

ny Pythagoras theorem

${17}^{2} = {8}^{2} + {d}^{2} \\ d = 15 \: cm$

Answer 2

Answer:

 OM = 6 cm
