Q14 of 100 Page 17

Two equal circles of radius r intersect such that each passes through the centre of the other. The length of the common chord of the circles is

Let O and O' be the centre of two circles​

OA and O'A = Radius of the circles​


AB be the common chord of both the circles


OM perpendicular to AB


And,


O'M perpendicular to AB


AOO' is an equilateral triangle.


AM = Altitude of AOO'


Height of AOO' = r


AB = 2 AM


= 2 r


= r
