Let O be the centre of the circle and AB and CD are two parallel chords of equal side of radius 1.
Let O be the centre of the circle and AB and CD are two parallel chords of equal side of radius 1. OP is perpendicular to AB and OQ is perpendicular to CD. If AB = 10 cm., CD = 24 cm and PQ = 7 cm, then the diameter (in cm) of the circle is _________.
मान लीजिए कि, O वृत्त का केंद्र है और AB और CD त्रिज्या की समान भुजा पर दो समानांतर जीवाएं हैं। OP, AB के लंबवत है और OQ, CD के लंबवत है। यदि AB = 10 cm है।, CD = 24 cm और PQ = 7 cm है, तो वृत्त का व्यास (cm में) _________ होगा।

Solution:
Let radius = r
Distance from center to chord formula:
For a chord of length $l$, distance $d = \sqrt{r^2 - \left(\frac{l}{2}\right)^2}$
For chord AB = 10:
$OP = \sqrt{r^2 - 5^2} = \sqrt{r^2 - 25}$
For chord CD = 24:
$OQ = \sqrt{r^2 - 12^2} = \sqrt{r^2 - 144}$
Given $PQ = 7$ and chords are on same side:
$OP - OQ = 7$
So,
$\sqrt{r^2 - 25} - \sqrt{r^2 - 144} = 7$
Solve:
$\sqrt{r^2 - 25} = 7 + \sqrt{r^2 - 144}$
Square both sides:
$r^2 - 25 = 49 + r^2 - 144 + 14\sqrt{r^2 - 144}$
$-25 = -95 + 14\sqrt{r^2 - 144}$
$70 = 14\sqrt{r^2 - 144}$
$\sqrt{r^2 - 144} = 5$
$r^2 - 144 = 25$
$r^2 = 169$
$r = 13$
Diameter = $2r = 26$
