Question 822021
{{{drawing(250,400,-3,37,-32,32,
circle(0,0,34),circle(0,0,0.5),
triangle(0,0,16,30,16,-30),

)}}} {{{AB=60cm}}} , {{{OA=OB=34cm}}}
{{{AC=BC=60cm/2=30cm}}}
According to the Pythagorean theorem,
{{{OC^2+(30cm)^2=(34cm)^2}}}
{{{OC^2+900cm^2=1156cm^2}}}
{{{OC^2=1156cm^2-900cm^2}}}
{{{OC^2=256cm^2}}}
{{{OC=sqrt(256cm^2)}}}
{{{OC=16cm}}}
The chord is 16 cm from the center.
