.
The triangle formed by the center of the circle, the midpoint of the chord and the endpoint of the chord is right-angled triangle.


One its leg is half length of the chord, i.e.  = .


The other leg length is the distance between the two given points, i.e.

 =  = .


Therefore, the radius R =  =  = .


Answer.  The radius of the circle R =  units.
