Question

Radius of circle is 10cm there are two chords of length 16cm each What will be the distance of these chords from the centre

Answer 1

Hii There!!!


Given :- Length of the chord AB = 16cm and radius ( r ) = 10cm .


To find :- OM

Construction :- Draw a perpendicularOM from centre O such that, it bisects the chord AB.


Proof :- In right angled ∆OMB,

OB^2 = OM^2 + BM^2

=> 10^2 = OM^2 + 8^2


=> 100 = OM^2 + 64

=> OM^2 = 36

=> OM = √36

=> OM = 6 cm



Hence, the distance of the chord from the centre of the circle is 6cm.
