Solve the previous question using the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras theorem.
Draw perpendiculars from the centre to both chords. The radii are equal, and the perpendicular distances are also equal. Using the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras Theorem, the half-lengths of both chords are equal. Doubling these equal half-chords gives equal full chord lengths. Therefore, the two chords areRead more
Draw perpendiculars from the centre to both chords. The radii are equal, and the perpendicular distances are also equal. Using the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras Theorem, the half-lengths of both chords are equal. Doubling these equal half-chords gives equal full chord lengths. Therefore, the two chords are equal, proving that AB = GF.

Draw a perpendicular from the centre of the circle to the chord. It bisects the chord into two equal parts. Applying the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras Theorem to the right triangle, the half-chord is obtained as √13 cm. Doubling this value gives the full chord length. Therefore, the required chord length isRead more
Draw a perpendicular from the centre of the circle to the chord. It bisects the chord into two equal parts. Applying the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras Theorem to the right triangle, the half-chord is obtained as √13 cm. Doubling this value gives the full chord length. Therefore, the required chord length is 2√13 cm.

See lessExplain why the following statement is true: If the perpendicular distance of a chord from the centre is d and the radius is r, then the chord length is 2√(r2-d2 ).
A perpendicular drawn from the centre to a chord always bisects the chord into two equal parts. Each half forms a right triangle with the radius as the hypotenuse and the perpendicular distance as one side. By applying the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras Theorem, the half-chord equals √(r² − d²). Therefore, tRead more
A perpendicular drawn from the centre to a chord always bisects the chord into two equal parts. Each half forms a right triangle with the radius as the hypotenuse and the perpendicular distance as one side. By applying the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras Theorem, the half-chord equals √(r² − d²). Therefore, the complete chord length is 2√(r² − d²).

See lessConsider Fig. 5.15. If CE is perpendicular to AB, CH is perpendicular to GH, and CE = CH, show that AB = GF.
Since CE and CH are perpendicular distances from the centre to the chords and CE = CH, both chords are at the same distance from the centre. According to Theorem 7, chords that are equidistant from the centre of the same circle are equal in length. Hence, the two chords are equal. Therefore, AB = GFRead more

Consider two equal chords in the same circle. Draw perpendiculars from the centre to each chord. Since the radii are equal and half of each equal chord is also equal, the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras Theorem shows that the perpendicular distances from the centre must be equal. Therefore, equal chords are aRead more
