Question:

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?

Options:

5 m

6 m

3 m

8 m

Correct Answer:

6 m

Explanation:

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.
