24 सेमी लंबी एक जीवा वृत्त के केंद्र पर समकोण बनाती हैं। वृत्त की त्रिज्या क्या है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
\(12\sqrt{2}\)cm/ \(12\sqrt{2}\)सेमी
Solution:
Let the radius be r.
The chord subtends a right angle ($90^\circ$) at the center.
Formula for chord length:
Chord $= 2r \sin\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$
Here $\theta = 90^\circ$, so
Chord $= 2r \sin 45^\circ$
$24 = 2r \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
$24 = r\sqrt{2}$
$r = \frac{24}{\sqrt{2}} = 12\sqrt{2}$ cm
Answer: The radius is $12\sqrt{2}$ cm.
