Question

In a circle, a chord AB is 12 cm long and is at a distance of 4 cm from the center. What is the radius of the circle?

A.

52\sqrt{52}​ cm

B.

5 cm

C.

8 cm

D.

None of these

Correct option is A

Given :

Length of chord AB = 12 cm
Distance of chord from center = 4 cm

Formula Used :
Perpendicular from center to a chord bisects the chord.

Radius:
r =(AB2)2+d2 \sqrt{\left(\frac{AB}{2}\right)^2 + d^2}​​
Solution :

r = 62+42\sqrt{6^2 + 4^2}​​
=36+16= \sqrt{36 + 16}​​
=52= \sqrt{52}​ cm
