I'm given a circle with a radius of 3 meters and I need to know what a chord length with a 90 degree angle inside the triangle is.
:
Draw this out and it will be apparent that there is a right triangle where
the leg's = 3 meters and the chord is the hypotenuse (h)
h = sqrt%283%5E2%2B3%5E2%29
h = sqrt%2818%29
h = 3sqrt%282%29 is the length of the chord
