Answer: 21.44 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Radius r=15 cm
distance of chord from the center is 10 cm
From the figure, the length of the chord is AC
Applying Pythagoras
The length of the chord is
The line is called the directrix. Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.
Geometry is best done with squared distances. The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is
We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0):
We could call that done. A more standard form might be
