<u>Given:</u>
The circle has a diameter of 30 cm and a chord of 10 cm is drawn.
Radius of the circle = 15 cm
Half of the chord = 5 cm
We need to determine the distance of chord from the center of the circle.
<u>Distance of chord from the center of the circle:</u>
Let us use the Pythagorean theorem, to find the distance between the center and the chord.
Let d denote the distance between the center and the chord of the circle.
Thus, we get;
Taking square root on both sides, we get;
Thus, the distance between the center and the chord of the circle is 14.14 cm.
Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
