To construct
the circle and the chords, the steps below need to be
followed:
1 Draw a
circle of radius 3 5 cm with centre O
2 Take two
points A and C on the circle
3 With points
A and C as the centers and radius 5 6 cm in each case, draw arcs
that cut the circle at points B and D
4 Join A and
B, and C and D
5 Mark the
midpoints of AB and CD as M and N
6 Join OM and
ON
Thus, AB and
CD are chords of length 5 6 cm and the distances between the centre
O and chords AB and CD is 2 1 cm in each case

Construct two chords of length 5.6 cm. each on either side of the centre, of a circle of radius 3.5 cm. Measure the distance between the centre and the chords.
