A circle with center O has a diameter of 26 cm. A chord, PQ, is 24 cm in length. How far is the chord from the center of the circle?

Respuesta :

The chords from the center of the circle will be 5 cm. Apply pythogorous to find the distance of chords from the center of the circle.

What exactly is a circle?

It is a point locus drawn equidistant from the center. The radius of the circle is the distance from the center to the circumference.

Given data;

Diameter,d=26 cm

Chord, PQ, = 24 cm

P is the chord from the center of the circle

All the given dimensions shown in the digrame are in the centimeter.

The chords from the center of the circle are found by the pythogorous theorem;

From Δ DCB

The value of the side p is;

h²=p²+b²

13²=p²+12²

169=p²+144

p=5 cm

Hence, the chords from the center of the circle will be 5 cm.
