<u>Given</u>:
Given that the circle with center O.
The radius of the circle is OB.
The chord of the circle O is PQ and the length of PQ is 12 cm.
We need to determine the length of the segment PA.
<u>Length of the segment PA:</u>
We know that, "if a radius is perpendicular to the chord, then it bisects the chord and its arc".
Thus, we have;
Substituting the value PQ = 12, we get;
Thus, the length of the segment PA is 6 cm.
Hence, Option d is the correct answer.
