Question : In the given figure, point O is the centre of a circle of radius 13 cm and AB is a chord perpendicular to OD. If CD = 8 cm, what is the length (in cm) of AB?

Option 1: 6 cm

Option 2: 12 cm

Option 3: 24 cm

Option 4: 28 cm

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24 cm


Solution :
Given, Radius = 13 cm
CD = 8 cm
⇒ OC = 13 – 8 = 5 cm [As OD is the radius]
In $\triangle AOC$,
Using Pythagoras theorem, we get,
$AO^2=OC^2+AC^2$
⇒ $13^2=5^2+AC^2$
⇒ $AC^2=169-25$
⇒ $AC=\sqrt{144}$
$\therefore AC = 12$ cm
