`P Q`and `R S`are two parallel chords of a circle whose centre is `O`and radius is `10c mdot`If `P Q=16c m`and `R S=12c m ,`find the distance between `P Q`and `R S ,`if they lie:on the same side of the centre `Odot`on opposite side of the centre `Odot` |

Answer» OP=OR=10cm PQ=14m,RS=12cm,PL=8cm,RM=6cm `In/_OLP` `OP^2=OL^2+PL^2` `100=OL^2+64` `OL^2=36` `OL=6` `In/_OMR` `OR^2=OM^2+RM^2` `100=OM^2+36` `OM^2=64` `OM=8` 1) On same side `LM=QM-OL` `LM=8-6=2cm` 2)On opposite side `LM=OL+QM` `LM=6+8=14cm`. |
