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.
In a circle whose diameter is 20in and a chord is 6in from the center what is the length of the chord?
the chord is 4in long
What is the diameter of a circle?
A chord of a circle is a straight line that joins any two points on the circumference of a circle. The diameter of a circle is the length of the chord that passes through the centre of the circle; it is the chord of longest length and is twice the radius of the circle in length.
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
How is the length of the chord related to its distance from the center?
Length of chord, l = 2*sqrt(r2- d2) where r is the radius of the circle and d is the perpendicular distance of the chord from the centre of the circle. l, r and d are measured in the same units of length.
