Question

There are two chords AB and
CD in a
circle. ABI=10cm, |CD| = 8cm
and the radius of the circle is
12cm. What is the distance
of each chord from the centre
of the circle​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance from AB = Square root ( (12)^2 - 5^2)

= Sq root( 144-25)

Distance from AB = 11

Distance from CD = Square root ( (12)^2 - 4^2)

= 11.3
