Question

Q4) The radius of a circle is 13cm and the length of one of its chord is 10 cm. Find the distance of the chord from the centre ...​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem  

OQ²=OP²+QP²

OP²=OQ²-QP²

OP=√13²-5²

OP=√169-25

OP=√144

OP=12 cm

Answer 2

radius =13cm length of chord =10cm

H=13cm

B = 1/2 Of Length of chord =5cm

H^2 = B^2+ P^2

13^2=5^2+P^2

P^2=169-25

P=12cm

Distance of the chord from the centre =12cm
