Question 120

‘O’ is the centre of the circle, AB is a chord of the circle, OM┴ AB. If AB = 20 cm, OM = 2√11 cm, then radius of the circle is

Solution

OM is perpendicular bisector of AB = 20 cm

=> BM = 10 cm and OM = 2$$\sqrt{11}$$

In $$\triangle$$OBM

radius, OB = $$\sqrt{(OM)^2 + (BM)^2}$$

=> OB = $$\sqrt{100 + 44} = \sqrt{144}$$

=> OB = 12 cm
