उत्तर
We will represent the given data in the figure
We know that perpendicular drawn from the centre to the chord divides the chord into two equal parts.
So , AM = MB = \[\frac{AB}{2} = \frac{8}{2}\] = 4 cm.
Using Pythagoras theorem in the ΔAMO,
`OM^2 = AO^2 - AM^2`
`= 6^2 - 4^2`
= 36-16
`= sqrt(20)`
= `2sqrt(5)` cm
