The length of a radius of a circle is 13 cm. and the length of a chord of a circle is 10 cm, the distance of the chord from the centre of the circle is
A. 12.5 cm
B. 12 cm
C. 
D. 24 cm
Answer :
Given radius = 13cm, PQ = 10cm
⇒ PD
⇒ PD
⇒ PD = 5cm
Using Pythagrus theorem in O PD
⇒ OP2 = OD2 + PD 2
⇒ 132 = OD2 + 52
⇒ OD2 = 169-25
⇒ OD2 = 144
⇒ OD = 12cm

The lengths of two chords AB and CD of a circle with its centre O are equal. If ∠AOB = 60° and CD = 6 cm. then let us calculate the length of the radius of the circle.
West Bengal Board - MathematicsP is any point in a circle with its centre O. If the length of the radius is 5 cm. and OP = 3 cm., then let us determine the least of the chord passing through the point P.
West Bengal Board - MathematicsThe two circles with their centres at P and Q intersect each other at the points A and B. Through the point A, a straight line parallel to PQ intersects the two circles at the points C and D respectively. If PQ = 5 cm., then let us determine the length of CD.
West Bengal Board - MathematicsThe two circles with centers X and Y intersect each other at the points A and B. A is joined with the mid-point ‘S’ of XY and the perpendicular on SA through the point A is drawn which intersects the two circles at the points P and Q. Let us prove that PA = AQ.
