Given that,
Length of a chord = 28 inches
Radius of the circle = 50 inches
To find,
The distance the chord from the center of the circle.
Solution,
Let the distance from the chord to the centre of circle is x.
It is denoted by OM.
Using Pythagoras theorem to find it.
[tex]50^2=28^2+x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{50^2-28^2} \\\\x=41.42\ \text{inches}[/tex]
So, the distance from the chord to the centre of circle 41.42 inches
