the length of the chord ab of the circle s = 0 is
Answers
Answer:
r is the radius of the circle. c is the angle subtended at the center by the chord.
...
Chord Length Formula.
Formula to Calculate Length of a Chord
Chord Length Using Perpendicular Distance from the Center Chord Length = 2 × √(r2 − d2)
Chord Length Using Trigonometry Chord Length = 2 × r × sin(c/2)
Concept
A chord is line segment which joins two points of the circle without meeting the center of the circle.
Given
Chord is ab.
To find
Length of the chord?
Explanation
Let the radius of the circle be r. Join the center to the end points of the chord. Draw a perpendicular from the center on the chord. let the angle between chord and the radius is c degree. It forms a triangle OAB, it will be a right angled triangle so the length will be calculated as
Cos(c)=CA/OA
Cos(c)=CA/r
CA=rcosc
AB=2CA
AB=2r Cos(c)
