radius=4cm length of chord =6cm then find the distance of chord from centre
Answers
distance between center and the chord = height of traingle formed = 4cm
hypotenuse = radius = 6
so other side (base) of the right triangle formed
= √(36 - 16)
= √20
= √(4*5)
= 2√5 cm
now the perpendicular from centre to the chord divides the chord in two equal parts so
Length of chord = 2(other side of triangle)
= 2(2√5)
= 4√5 cm
Hence the length of chord is 4√5 cm
Hope it helped.
