Question

The Radius of the circle is 6 cm the perpendicular distance form the center of the circle to the chord which is 8 cm in length is ----​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 root 5 is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of circle ⭕= 6cm

length of chord = 8cm

prependicular bisector of chord = 4cm (1/2x8)

It forms a right angled triangle

therefore by Pythagoras theorem

6^2= 4^2+ X^2

36= 16 +x^2

20= x^2

x = 2root5 .
