Question
In the given diagram, point 'O' represents the center of a circle, while AB and DE are two distinct chords within the circle. The line segment OC is perpendicular to the chord AB, and the segment OF is perpendicular to the chord DE. The length of chord AB is provided as 24 cm, and the distance CF from the center to the perpendicular intersection with chord DE is (5 + 4√5)

cm. The radius of the circle measures 13
cm. Determine the length of chord DE.
The perpendicular from the centre of the circle to its chord, bisects the chord. So, AC = CB = (24/2) = 12 cm Similarly, DF = FE In right rAOC, using Pythagoras theorem, AO2 = AC2 + CO2 Or, 132 = 122 + CO2 So, CO2 = 169 - 144 = 25 Or, CO = √25 = 5 cm And, OF = CF - CO = 5 + 4√5 - 5 = 4√5 cm In right rDOF, using Pythagoras theorem, DO2 = DF2 + OF2 So, DF2 = 132 - (4√5)2 Or, DF2 = 169 - 80 = 89 So, DF = √89 cm DE = DF + FE = 2DF = 2√89 cm More Circle Questions
