FIND SHORTEST DISTANCE FROM CENTER TO CHORD WORKSHEET

Problem 1 :

In figure, if OA = 5 cm, AB = 8 cm and OD is perpendicular to AB. What is the length of CD?

a) 2 cm     b) 3 cm     c) 4 cm     d) 5 cm

Solution

Problem 2 :

If AB = 12 cm, BC = 16 cm and AB is perpendicular to  BC, then the radius of the circle passing through the points A, B and C is

a) 6 cm   b) 8 cm    c) 10 cm    d) 12 cm

Solution

Problem 3 :

In a circle radius is 13 cm, a chord is drawn at a distance of 12 cm from the center. Find the length of the chord.

a) 5 cm   b) 10 cm    c) 15 cm    d) 30 cm

Solution

Problem 4 :

Three points A, B and C are located on a circle which are equidistant from one another. If the radius of the circle is 20m the calculate the length of AB.

Solution

Problem 1 :

A circle of 30 cm diameter has a 24 cm chord what is the distance of the chord from the center?
