Radius of a circle is 10 cm. Angle made by chord AB at the centre of this circle is 60 degree. What is the length of this chord? |
40 cm 20 cm 30 cm 10 cm |
10 cm |
OA = OB = 10 cm \(\Delta \)OAB is an isosceles triangle. So, \(\angle\)OAB = \(\angle\)OBA = \(\frac{180\;-\;60}{2}\) = \({60}^\circ\) Since \(\angle\)OAB = \(\angle\)OBA = \(\angle\)AOB = \({60}^\circ\), \(\Delta \)OAB is an equilateral triangle. So, OA = OB = AB = 10 cm. Therefore, the length of the chord is 10 cm. |
