A chord of 48 cm is 7 cm from the center of a circle.
\n" ); document.write( " Calculate the area of the circle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we want to find r, or better yet r^2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the 7 cm line from the center bisects the chord, forms a right triangle where
\n" ); document.write( "one leg = 24 and the other leg = 7, the hypotenuse is the radius, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 = 24^2 + 7^2
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 = 576 + 49
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 = 625
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find area of the circle
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"pi%2A625\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 1963.495 sq/cm\r
