It is 8 cm
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.
longest chord = diameter y = longest chord y = diameter radius = 1/2 diameter therefore, radius = 1/2y
multiply the chord length and radius and divide by 2
Bisects that chord
The radial length equals the chord length at a central angle of 60 degrees.
The biggest chord is the diameter which is radius*2 and so three quarters of an inch.
It is the diameter which is twice the radius giving a length of 8 cm
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.
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.
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
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.
The longest chord in a circle is its diameter and halve of this is its radius.
The formula for calculating the length of a chord in a circle is (2rsin(frac2)), where r is the radius of the circle and is the central angle subtended by the chord.
This requires trigonometry If theta is the angle from the center of the circle to the edges of the chord, then chord length = 2Rsin (theta/2)

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