Question : The radius of a circle is 10 cm. The distance of chord PQ from the centre is 8 cm. What is the length of chord PQ?
Option 1: 16 cm
Option 2: 15 cm
Option 3: 12 cm
Option 4: 14 cm
Correct Answer: 12 cm
Solution : Given: The radius of a circle = PA = 10 cm The distance of chord PQ from the centre = OA = 8 cm Using Pythagoras's theorem, $PA^2=OP^2-OA^2$ ⇒ $PA^2=10^2-8^2$ ⇒ $PA^2=100-64$ ⇒ $PA^2=36$ ⇒ $PA=6$ $\therefore PQ = 2\times PA=2\times6=12\ \text{cm}$ Hence, the
