Question

the diameter of a circle with center c is 50 cm and the length of the chord is 48 cm find the distance of the chord from the center ​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

let the radius of the circle is 50/2=25

half of the chord is 48/2=24

hence it is forming a right angle triangle

hence we can apply a Pythagoras theorem

(hypotenuse) ^2=(height)^2+(base)^2

(25)^2=(24)^2+(base)^2

base=√(625+576)

base=√(1201)

base=34. approx

have a great day ahead❤
