Question

the lengths of two parallel chords of a circle are 8cm and 14cm. If the smaller chord is at a distance of 2cm from the centre then what is the distance of the other chord from the centre
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let AB be a chord of a circle with centre O and radius 8 cm such that

AB = 12 cm

We draw and join OA.

Since, the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.

Now in we have

Hence the distance of chord from the centre .
