Here, A is the starting point (John's house) and E is the endpoint (John's school). So, the distance between the starting point and the endpoint is AE. AE = AD + DE
Question : AB is a chord of a circle having a radius of 1.7 cm. If the distance of this chord AB from the centre of the circle is 0.8 cm, then what is the length (in cm) of the chord AB?
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : OB = 1.7 cm OC = 0.8 cm In $\triangle$ OCB, $OB^2 = OC^2 + CB^2$ ⇒ $1.7^2 = 0.8^2 + CB^2$ ⇒ $2.89 = 0.64 + CB^2$ ⇒ $CB^2 = 2.89 – 0.64 = 2.25$ $\therefore$ $CB = 1.5$ cm AB = 2 ×
