The question, as posted, cannot be answered because the questioner has failed to provide enough information. I suspect the question concerns two circles, each with radius 16 mm, whose centres are at N and O. The circles intersect at P and Q.

If that is the question, then the chord PQ is 25.4 mm long.

How do you find the radius of a circle if you know the length of a chord is 4 cm length?

Unless the chord is the diameter, there is no way to measure the radius of the circle. This is because the radius is in no way dependent on chord length since circles have infinite amount of chord lengths.


If a radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects that chord?

If radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects the chord only if radius is perpendicular to the chord.


If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then?

Then the radius bisects the chord.


Why can a radius be a chord?

a radius can be a chord beca- wait why would i know!?!?!?


How do you find radius if you know the chord?

well,first the radius is half of the chord. Radius is the distance from the circle centre to the chord end. The chord is the line joining the ends of the arc. Draw this line. Call the distance from the arc of the circle at its deepest point to the mid point of the chord "c". If extended, this line will go throught the centre of the circle. Call half the length of the chord "y". Then the properties of circles and chords is that c(d-c)=y2 where d is the circle diameter, so that d = y2/c + c. And then radius is half that.


Is a chord a radius?

No but the diameter is a chord.


If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord at what point does it intersect the chord?

The radius of the circle that is perpendicular to a chord intersects the chord at its midpoint, so it is said to bisect the chord.


What is the relationship between the chord and the radius of circle?

The relationship between the chord and the radius of the circle is Length of the chord = 2r sin(c/2) where r = radius of the circle and c = angle subtended at the center by the chord


If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then it that chord?

Bisects


If a radius of a circle bisects a chord then it is to that chord?

Perpendicular.


How do you find the radius given the chord length?

If you are given a chord length of a circle, unless you are given more information about the chord, you can not determine what the radius of the circle will be. This is because the chord length in a circle can vary from a length of (essentially) 0, up to a length of double the radius (the diameter). The best you can say about the radius if given the chord length, is that the length of the radius is at least as long has half half the chord length.


How do you calculate the coordinates of chord given the length of radius and chord?

You cannot. If you rotate the circle around its centre, the lengths of the radius and chord will remain the same but the coordinates of the chord will change.
