Suppose a chord of a circle is 50 cm long, and the distance from its midpoint to the center of the circle is 60 cm.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the radius of the circle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If you draw this out where the line bisects the chord to the center given as 60,
\n" ); document.write( "two right triangles are formed with legs of 60 and 25, the radius is the hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "r = $\"sqrt%2860%5E2%2B25%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "r = 65 cm \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
