A diameter of a circle measures 52 units.
\n" ); document.write( "52/2 = 26 units is the radius
\n" ); document.write( " Find the length of a chord that is 10 units from the center
\n" ); document.write( "A right triangle is formed by the radius (26), 10, and half the the chord (.5c)
\n" ); document.write( "Solve this using pythag
\n" ); document.write( "10^2 + (.5c)^2 = 26^2
\n" ); document.write( "100 + .25c^2 = 676
\n" ); document.write( ".25c^2 = 676 - 100
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 576/.25
\n" ); document.write( "c = \"sqrt%282304%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "c = 48 units is the chord
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
