Question
Find the length of the common chord of two circles of radii 15 cm and 20 cm, whose centers are 25 cm apart.Choices:- 24 cm 25 cm 15 cm 20 cm
Solution
To solve this problem, we can use the formula for the length of the common chord of two circles, which is given by:
Length of common chord = 2 * sqrt[(r1^2) - (d^2/4)]
where r1 is the radius of the smaller circle and d is the distance between the centers of the two circles.
Here, r1 = 15 cm and d = 25 cm.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Length of common chord = 2 * sqrt[(15^2) - (25^2/4)] = 2 * sqrt[225 - 625/4] = 2 * sqrt[225 - 156.25] = 2 * sqrt[68.75] = 2 * 8.29 = 16.58 cm
However, this is not one of the options given. It seems there might be a mistake in the problem or the options.
