Here is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
In a circle, the center is O. Length of OB is 5 cm.
Again, we have, distance from O to chord AB is 3 cm. since ZOMB is a right angle (according to the theorem of chord), we have AOMB a right triangle. Then, in the triangle AB = 5 cm, OM = 3 cm. Then, MB = = V(5^2 - 31)
= 4 cm.
So, length of AB is 2*4 cm = 8 cm.
