Question

If the length of the largest chord of a circle is 17 cm find the radius of a circle.

Answer 1

Given : length of the largest chord of the circle = 17 cm.
We know that the diameter is the largest chord of a circle.
Therefore, diameter = 17 cm
Therefore, the radius of the circle = $\frac{\mathrm{diameter}}{2}=\frac{17}{2}=8.5\mathrm{cm}$.
