Q.A chord is drawn at a distance of 5 cm from the center of a circle with a radius of 10 cm. What is the length of the chord? (a) \(5\sqrt3\) cm (b) 6 cm (c) 8 cm (d) 3 cm
Answer Not Defined

In the right-angled triangle \(\triangle\)AOP, OA = 10 cm, OP = 5 cm \(\therefore\) \(AP^2 = OA^2 - OP^2 = 10^2 - 5^2 = 100 - 25 = 75\) \(\therefore\) \(AP = \sqrt{75}\) cm = \(5\sqrt{3}\) cm \(\therefore\) \(AB = 2 \times AP = 10\sqrt{3}\) cm
