The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.

Theorem :-2The perpendicular from centre of a circle to the chord bisects the chord and Perpendicular bisectors of two chords of a circle intersects at the centre.

Fill in the Blanks: The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord _____ the chord.

A line drawn drom the centre of a circle to a chord always bisects it. (True/False).

The radius of a circle is 10 cm and the perpendicular form the centre to a chord is 8cm. Find the length of the chord. (ii) The radius of a circle is 10 cm. its one chord is 16 cm long. Find the perpendicular distance of this chord form the centre. (iii) in the adjoining figure O is the centre of circle. the radius of circle is 17 cm . if OC=8cm, then find the length of chord AB. (iv) In the adjoining figure, OMbotAB , radius OC=5cm and chord AB=8cm .Find the length of OM.
