Two points P and Q are 3 cm apart. These two points lle on the circumference of a circle having radius 1.7 cm. What is the distance (in cm) of the line segment PQ from the centre of the circle?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 0.8.

Radius (r) = 1.7 cm and PQ = 3 cm

Distance (OM) = 1.72−(32)2=1.72−1.52=0.8\sqrt{1.7^2-\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2}=\sqrt{1.7^2-1.5^2}=0.8 cm
