The length of the common chord of the two circles `x^2+y^2-4y=0` and `x^2+y^2-8x-4y+11=0` is

Answer» `x^2+(y-2)^2=4 -(1)`
`(x-4)^2+(y-2)^2=9 -(2)`
from diagram
`CC_1=4`
area of `/_ACC_1=sqrt((9/2)*(5/2)*(3/2)*(1/2))`
=`sqrt(135)/4`
area can also be find by=`1/2*AD*CC_1`
so, it can be said that
`sqrt(135)/4=1/2*AD*4`
AD=`sqrt135/8`
length of chord=2AD=`sqrt135/4`
