Question: In a circle, if a chord is 12 cm long and the distance from the center to the chord is 5 cm, what is the radius of the circle?

Options:

  1. 10
  2. 12
  3. 13
  4. 15

Correct Answer: 13

Solution:

Using the formula: radius² = (distance from center to chord)² + (half of chord length)². Here, radius² = 5² + (12/2)² = 25 + 36 = 61, so radius = √61, which is approximately 7.81.
