In a circle with centre O, PQ is a diameter and
PR is a chord. If the distance of mid-point of PR
from point O is 8 cm and PQ = 34 cm, then find
the length of chord PR

AB bisects chord PQ at point C.
Therefore,
PR=QR=8cm
RB=4cm
Let, radius OA=OB=r
OB=OR+RB
=>r=OR+4
=>OR=r−4 (i)
Now,

−8r+16+64
=>8r=80
=>r=10cm
The radius of the circle is 10cm
