Answer 1

✯Question✯

• The radius of a circle is 8 cm and the distance from the center to chord is 6 cm. Find the length of the chord.

✭Given✭

• Radius of circle = 8cm
• Perpendicular distance from the center to the chord = 6cm

✭To find✭

• Length of the chord

✵Solution✵

• In ∆ABC , BC = ⁶⁄₂
• BC = 3 cm
• AC = x cm
• AB = 8cm

✩Using Pythagoras theorem✩

• AB² = AC² + BC²
• 8² = AC² + 3²
• 64 = AC² + 9
• AC² = 55
• AC = √55        (already simplified)

✶Length of the chord is √55cm or perpendicular is √55cm✶

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

tion✵

In ∆ABC , BC = ⁶⁄₂

BC = 3 cm

AC = x cm

AB = 8cm

✩Using Pythagoras theorem✩

AB² = AC² + BC²

8² = AC² + 3²
