The diameter of a circle is 23 inches and the circle has two chords of length 14 inches what is the distance from each chord to the center of the circle

9.12 + 9.12 = 18.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter = 23 inches (given)

Radius = 11.5 inches

2 Chords of length = 14 inches ( You didn't specify if the 14 inches is for both chords or for a single cord. I'll assume it's for two cords 14 and 14inches apart.

To clearly solve this, we'll make some mild assumptions.

Let the perpendicular distance of the chords from the center of the circle to represented as " x and y"

Therefore:

x^2 + 7^2 = 11.5 ^ 2

x^2 + 49 = 132.25

x^2 = 132.25 - 49

x^2 = 83.25

x = √ 83.25

x = 9.12 inches

Since the cords have thesame length (Assumed from the way the question was structured, the distance would still be thesame)

y^2 + 7^2 = 11.5 ^ 2

y^2 + 49 = 132.25

y^2 = 132.25 - 49

y^2 = 83.25

y = √ 83.25

y = 9.12 inches

Therefore, the distance will be :

9.12 + 9.12 = 18.24 inches

Have fun!

i'm sorry mate, but i am not seeing any figures. i am unable to solve this for you.

for this case we have that by definition, the surface area of a cylinder is given by:

where:

r: it is the radius of the cylinder

h: it is the height of the cylinder

we can also rewrite it as:

where:

la: it's the lateral area

ba: area of the base
