Answer:
The length of PQ is 7 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information: The radius of the circle is 5 cm. AB=8 cm and CD = 6 cm. OP⊥AB, OQ⊥CD.
From the below figure it is noticed that triangle AOP and COQ are right angled triangle.
Perpendicular from the center always a chord bisector.
By using Pythagoras theorem,
The length of OP is 3 cm.
By Using Pythagoras theorem ,
The length of OP is 3 cm.
The length of PQ is
Therefore the length of PQ is 7cm...
I don't know how to enclose the diagram for this question.
Pls forgive me!!
