In the given figure, C is the centre of the circle. seg QT is a diameter CT = 13, CP = 5, find the length of chord RS.

उत्तर

Draw seg CR

CR = CT = 13      ...(radii of the same circle)

In ΔCPR, ∠CPR = 90°

From Pythagoras' theorem,

CR2 = CP2 + PR2

∴ 132 = 52 + PR2

∴ 169 = 25 + PR2

∴ PR2 = 169 – 25

∴ PR2 = 144

∴ PR = `sqrt(144)`

∴ PR = 12 cm

Now, seg CP ⊥ chord RS

∴ PR = `1/2` RS       ...(The perpendicular drawn from the center of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.)

∴ 12 = `1/2` RS

∴ RS = 12 × 2

∴ RS = 24
