AB and CD are two chords of a circle on the same side of the centre such that AB = 8 cm, CD = 10 cm and AB || CD. If the distance between AB and CD is 2 cm, then find the radius of the circle. ​

-step EXPLANATION:GivenΔ ANO is a right angle triangle,∴ USING pythogoras theorem,OA2=ON2+AN2132=ON2+122ON2=132−122=169−144ON2=25⇒ON2=5cmSimilarly for ΔOCMOC2=OM2+CM2132=OM2+52OM2=132−52OM2=169−25OM=144=12cm∴ DISTANCE between chorts=OM+ON=12+5=17cm.Thus the distance between the two CHORDS is 17cm.
