    Question

    The radius of a circle is 5 cm, and the length of the

    chord is 6 cm. Find the distance between the chord and the centre of the circle.  
    A 3 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Length of the chord = 6 cm  So, half of the length of the chord = 3 cm  So, distance between the chord and centre = √ {5² - 3² } = √ {25 - 9} = √ {16} = 4 cm
