    Question

    The radius of a circle is 10 cm, and the length of the

    chord is 12 cm. Find the distance between the chord and the centre of the circle.  
    A 6 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Length of the chord = 12 cm  So, half of the length of the chord = 6 cm  So, distance between the chord and centre = √ {10² - 6² } = √ {100 - 36} = √ {64} = 8 cm
