Answer:Given ' O ' is centre of the circle.
OM = 9 cm
Chord ( AB ) = 24 cm
Radius = OA
OM perpendicular to AB
and
OM bisects AB .
AM = AB/2 = 24/2 = 12 cm
In ∆AOM ,
<AMO = 90°
By Phythogarian theorem ,
OA² = AM² + OM²
= 12² + 9²
= 144 + 81
= 225
OA² = 225
OA = 15 cm
Therefore ,
Radius ( OA ) = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:
the perpendicular line drawn from the centre to the chord bisects the chord this property tells us that the line which is from centre is bisecting the chord A and B and a and b is equal distributed from 24 is equal to 12 cm
