Answer:

please follow me

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER

Radius of circle =16cm

Length of perpendicular to chord from center =16−3=13cm

Perpendicular from center to any chord bisects the chord.

So, by Pythagoras' theorem, the half length of the chord is =

16

=

87

So the length of the chord is =2

87

cm

So option C is the right answer.
