Answer:
12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance to the chord is the median of an isosceles right triangle with hypotenuse 20 and leg 16. This 5:4 ratio suggests the other leg of that right triangle would make the ratios 3 : 4 : 5, so is 12.
The chords are 12 cm from the center.
_____
You can, of course, use the Pythagorean theorem. If c is half the chord length and d is the distance to the chord, you have ...
c² + d² = r²
16² + d² = 20²
d² = 400 -256 = 144
d = √144 = 12 . . . . . cm
Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
No doubt you have examples showing the wording that is expected to be used here. We have made a guess.
power of a ratio: the numerator is raised to the power, as is the denominator. (a/b)^c = (a^c)/(b^c)
power of a product: each factor is raised to the power. (ab)^c = (a^c)(b^c)
power of a power: the powers are multiplied. (a^b)^c = a^(bc)
quotient of powers: the result when one power is divided by another is the difference of the numerator and denominator powers. (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

<em>Additional comment</em>
The order of operations tells you to simplify inside parentheses first. Doing that reduces the work somewhat.
