Well, drawing out the diagram; you should have one triangle with all 3 sides with values. Lets call the radius 'r' , the chord length 'c' and the arc length 'a'. Your triangle should have two sides labelled each as 'r', and 'c'should be the last side.
Firstly, we know that the rule for the arc length is radius x theta (radians).
So we need a theta. To find theta, we can use the cosine rule, since we have all 3 sides and no angle.
The cosine rule is a^2=b^2+c^2-2bcCosA. We can transpose this into: CosA=(b^2+c^2-a^2)/2bc.
If we sub in our 'c' as the 'a' in the rule above and the two 'r's as 'b' and 'c', we get our new rule as CosC=(r^2+r^2-c^2)/2rr. We can then simplify that to be CosC = (2r^2-c^2)/2r^2. After that, inverse cosine the value and you should get angle C.
Finally sub in your values into the arc length rule: radius x theta, and you should get your answer.
P.S. Make sure your calculator is in radians.

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 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.

What is the formula to calculate the radius of a segment knowing the height of the segment and cord length?
Assume that the height of the segment is h, the chord length is c and the radius is r then: r2=(r-h)2+(c/2)2 (We join two radii to the two ends of the chord then extend the height of the segment to the center of the circle in which the segment is inscribed so this height will bisect the chord and you use the pythagorean theorem to find the radius)

A chord of a circle has length 4.2 cm and is 8 cm from the center of the circle what is the radius of the circle?
To find the radius of the circle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The chord divides the circle into two equal parts, each forming a right triangle with the radius. The radius, the distance from the center to the chord, and half the length of the chord form a right triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have (radius)^2 = (distance from center)^2 + (1/2 * chord length)^2. Substituting in the given values, we get (radius)^2 = 8^2 - (1/2 * 4.2)^2. Solving for the radius gives us a radius of approximately 7.48 cm.
A chord of a circle of radius 5cm subtends the length of 80 degree at the center of the circle find the length of the chord?
The length of a chord = pi*r*x/180 where x is the angle subtended. = pi*5*80/180 = 6.98 cm
