Answer:
The distance between the centre and a chord of a circle is Perpendicular to the circle. And, the perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.
Let the center of the circle be O, diameter be AOB and the given chord be CD = 10cm. Let OP perpendicular to CD.
Then, CP = 1/2 × CD = 5cm, and OP = 12cm. Join radius OC.
Consider triangle COP. It is a right angles triangle with angle CPO = 90°.
So, by Pythagoras Theorem, we have
OC² = OP² + CP²
=> OC² = 5² + 12²
=> OC² = 25 + 144
=> OC² = 169
=> OC = root(169)
=> OC = 13
Hence, radius of the circle is 13 cm
