Suppose the road starts from A which is outside the circular village (as shown in the figure) and touch the boundary of the circular village at B such that AB = 20 m. Also the distance of the point A from the centre O of the village is 25 m.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) If B is the mid-point of AC, then find the distance AC.
(ii) Find the shortest distance of the road from the centre of the village.
