multiply the chord length and radius and divide by 2
longest chord = diameter y = longest chord y = diameter radius = 1/2 diameter therefore, radius = 1/2y
The radial length equals the chord length at a central angle of 60 degrees.
Draw the circle O, and the chord AB. From the center, draw the radius OC which passes though the midpoint, D, of AB. Since the radius OC bisects the chord AB, it is perpendicular to AB. So that CD is the required height, whose length equals to the difference of the length of the radius OC and the length of its part OD. Draw the radius OA and OB. So that OD is the median and the height of the isosceles triangle AOB, whose length equals to √(r2 - AB2/4) (by the Pythagorean theorem). Thus, the length of CD equals to r - √(r2 - AB2/4).

multiply the chord length and radius and divide by 2
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 the central angle is 70 and the radius is 8cm, how do you find out the chord lenght?
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 the radius is 8cm and the central angle is 70, how do yu workout the chord lenght?
The longest chord in a circle is its diameter and halve of this is its 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
r = known radius x = known arc length --------------------------- C (circumference of circle) = 2 * PI * r A (angle of chord in degrees) = x / C * 360 L (length of chord) = r * sin(A/2) * 2
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
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.
The length of a chord = pi*r*x/180 where x is the angle subtended. = pi*5*80/180 = 6.98 cm
Imagine if you will a circle with a chord drawn through it and a line running from the center of that chord to the center of the circle. That line is necessarily perpendicular to the chord. This means you have a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the radius of the circle. The radius is thus given by: r = sqrt{(1/2 chord length)^2 + (length of perpendicular line)^2} The actual formula to find the radius is as follows: r= C squared/8a + a/2, where C is the chord length, and a is the distance from center point of the chord to the circle , and a and C form an angle of 90 degrees. the entire formula before simplification is r = sqrt {(1/2 C)^2 + (r-a)^2}
