AB and CD are two chords of a circle such that AB= 10cm CD=24cm and AB parallel CD the distance between AB and CD is 17cm. Find the radius of the circle if the chords are on opposite sides of the centre

Answered by admin @


Since op perpendicular to ab and oq perpendicular to cd nd ab parallel to cd
poq is a st. line
ab=10cm,cd=24cm nd pq is 17cm
ap=bp=half ab = 5cm and cq=dq=half cd =12cm
if oq=x cm ,then op= (17-x)cm
join oa nd oc
oa=oc=r(radius)
now in right angled triangle oap,
oa square=op square+ap square
=r square=(17-x)square+ 5square_ist equation
in right angled triangle ocq,
oc square=oq square+cq square
=r square=x square+12square_2nd equation
frm ist nd 2nd equations ,we get :
(17 - x)square + (5)square = (x)square + (12)square
on solving we get x=5
r square=x square+12 square
r square=5 square+12 square
r square= 25+144

r = \sqrt{169 = 13}
r = 13cm
radius of the circle is 13cm
