Question

the length of two chord of a circle are equal .if the perpendicular distance from one if the chord from the center is 5cm then what would be perpendicular distance of other chord from the center​

Answer 1

Answer:

OD=3 cm

AB=8 cm

Radius =OB

In △OBD

OB

⟹OB=5 cm

Radius=5 cm

solution

Answer 2

Answer:

The length of the other perpendicular distance from the centre to the chord will also be 5cm .

Reason. If two chords are equal then their distance from the centre of the same circle is also equal.
