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.

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.
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.
If the blue radius below is perpendicular to the green chord and the segment is 6.5 units long what is the length of the chord?
13 units
What is the length of a biggest chord of a circle of radius 4cm?
It is the diameter which is twice the radius giving a length of 8 cm
Why can a radius be a chord?
a radius can be a chord beca- wait why would i know!?!?!?
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.
How do you find the chord length with the central angle and radius?
If the central angle is 70 and the radius is 8cm, how do you find out the chord lenght?
How do you Find Arc Length of Segment from Chord Length and Radius?
multiply the chord length and radius and divide by 2
How do you find the measure of an arc knowing only the chord of arc and radius?
you have a triangle formed by the radius on 2 and the chord on the other. the angle in that triangle that is opposite the chord, find its measure in radians take that measure (in radians) and multiply it by the radius to get the arc length
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.

How do you find a chord length with the central angle and radius given?
If the radius is 8cm and the central angle is 70, how do yu workout the chord lenght?
If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then?
Then the radius bisects the chord.
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.
How do you find radius of a circle if cord length is given?
The longest chord in a circle is its diameter and halve of this is its radius.
