math 9 circles pls help..

Answer:
Let there is a circle having center O and let radius is r .
Draw OP perpendicular to AB and OQ perpendicular to CD.
Now since OP perpendicular to AB and OQ perpendicular to CD and AB || CD
So P, O,Q are collinear.
Given distance between AB and CD is 6.
So PQ = 6
Again let OP = x, then OQ = (6-x)
Join OA and OC.
Then OA = OC = r.
Since we know that perpendicular from the center to a chord fo the circle bisects the chord
So AB =PB = 5/2 = 2.5
and CQ = QD = 11/3 = 5.5
From ΔOAP and ΔOCQ
OA2 = OP2 + AP2
=> r2 = x2 + (2.5)2 .........1
and OC2 = OQ2 + CQ2
=> r2 = (6-x)2 + (5.5)2 ......2
from eqaution 1 and 2, we get
x2 + (2.5)2 = (6-x)2 + (5.5)2
=> x2 + 6.25 = 36 + x2 - 12x + 30.25
=> 6.25 = -12x + 66.25
=> 12x = 66.25 - 6.25
=> 12x = 60
=> x = 60/12
=> x = 5
Put x = 5 in equation 1, we get
r2 = 52 + (2.5)2
=> r2 = 25 + 6.25
=> r2 = 31.25
=> r = √31.25
=> r = 5.6 (approximatily)
