Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

In the diagram above, O is the centre of the circle with radius of 13 cm.
Given the chord KM = 24 cm, find the length of OP, in cm.​

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Since Km is 24cm then MP = 12cm. We also know that OM = 13 is the radius.

So not OMP is a triple pythagoras with OP = 5 ( since 5, 12, 13 is a triple pythagoras)
