`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`.
