Answer:
The required length of the chord is 24 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given to find the length of chord which is at distance of 5 cm from center of circle of radius 13 cm.
As shown in the attached figure below, AB is a chord of a circle with center O, where
radius, OB = 13 cm and distance of AB from O, OD = 5 cm.
Since OD is the distance of AB from the center O, so it must be perpendicular to the chord AB.
So, triangle OBD is a right-angled triangle with OB as the hypotenuse.
Also, perpendicular drawn from the center of a circle to any chord bisects the chord.
That is, AD = DB.
Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle OBD, we have
Therefore, we get
AB=AD+BD=2BD=2\times12=24.
Thus, the required length of the chord is 24 cm.
