Question

Draw a circle of radius 3.5 cm and construct a chord of length 6 cm in it. Measure and write the distance between the centre and the chord.

Answer 1

Draw a circle of radius $3.5$ cm.

Take any point and name it $B$.

Using a compass measure $6$ cm. Keep the needle on $B$ and draw an arc cutting the circle at $A$.

Join $AB$.

$AB$ is the required chord.

Construct a perpendicular bisector of AB. let it cut $AB$ at $D$.

Join $OD$.

Measure $OD$.
