Answer: To find the distance of a chord from the center of a circle, we need to use the following formula:
Distance from center = sqrt(r^2 - (c/2)^2)
Where r is the radius of the circle and c is the length of the chord.
In this case, the radius of the circle is 3.7cm and the length of the chord is 7cm.
So, substituting these values in the formula, we get:
Distance from center = sqrt(3.7^2 - (7/2)^2)
= sqrt(13.69 - 12.25)
= sqrt(1.44)
= 1.2 cm
Therefore, the distance of the chord from the center of the circle is 1.2 cm.
