If the radius of a circle is 13 cm and length of its one chord is 10 cm, then find the distance of this chord from the centre.
We know that Length of chord, ![]()
Where r = radius of circle, d = distance of chord from centre
Given radius = 13 cm and chord = 10 cm
Now,
![]()
![]()
Squaring on both sides,
![]()
⇒ 100 = 4 (169 – d2)
⇒ 100/ 4 = 169 – d2
⇒ 25 = 169 – d2
⇒ d2 = 169 – 25
⇒ d2 = 144
∴ Distance of chord, d = 12 cm
