In a circle of radius 5 m, AB and CD are two equal and parallel chords of length 8 m each. What is the distance between the chords? |
5 m 6 m 3 m 8 m |
6 m |
We know that, h2 = p2 + b2 Radius = 5 m Chord = 8 m So, using the above formula, 52 - 42 = 32 The distance between the radius and chord = 3 m The distance between two chords = 2 x 3 = 6 m. |
