Q6 of 23 Page 274

In the figure, ‘O’ is the centre of the circle and OM, ON are the perpendiculars from the centre to the chords PQ and RS. If OM = ON and PQ = 6cm. Find RS.

Given, OM = ON


We know that “If two chords are equidistant from the center then the two chords are equal in length”.


PQ = RS = 6 cm
