In a circle of radius 17 cm, two parallel chords are drawn on opposite side of a diameter. The distance between the chords is 23 cm. If the length of one chord is 16 cm, then the length of the other is A. 34 cm B. 15 cm C. 23 cm D. 30 cm |
Answer» Option : (D) Given that, AB || CD (Chords on opposite side of centre) DO = BO (Radii) OL and OM perpendicular bisector of CD and AB respectively LM = 23 cm AB = 16 cm In ΔOLB, OB2 = OL2 + LB2 OL2 = 225 OL = 15 cm OM = LM - OL = 8 cm In ΔOMD, OD2 = OM2 + MD2 MD2 = 225 MD = 15 cm Now, CD = 2 MD = 30 cm |
