radius = r
\n" ); document.write( "d= distance of chord from center\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "length of chord = c\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "half the length of chord ,the radius and the distance from center form a right triangle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(c/2)^2= r^2-d^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c^2/4 = (r^2-d^2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c^2=4(r^2-d^2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"c=+2%2Asqrt%28r%5E2-d%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
