Answer:
The length of the chord is 30cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]r = 17cm[/tex]
[tex]d = 8cm[/tex]
Required
Calculate the chord length (L)
This is calculated as:
[tex]L = 2 * \sqrt{(r^2 -d^2)[/tex]
So:
[tex]L = 2 * \sqrt{(17^2 - 8^2)[/tex]
[tex]L = 2 * \sqrt{225[/tex]
[tex]L = 2 * 15[/tex]
[tex]L = 30cm[/tex]
