उत्तर
17 cm
We will represent the given data in the figure
In the diagram AB is the given chord of 16 cm length and OM is the perpendicular distance from the centre to AB.
We know that perpendicular from the centre to any chord divides it into two equal parts.
So, AM = MB = `16/2` = 8 cm.
Now consider right triangle OMA and by using Pythagoras theorem
`AO^2 = AM^2 + OM^2`
`= 8^2 + 15^2`
= 64+225
= 289
`= sqrt(289)`
= 17 cm
