If one draws the circle, the radius and the chord, the radius is 5 and the hypotenuse of a chord 4 cm away from the center. Therefore, half the distance of the chord is 3 cm (3-4-5 right triangle), and the whole chord is 6 cm long, twice the 3 cm, since the distance to the center is a perpendicular bisector of the chord.
