Answer 1

Answer:

17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 congruent chords in the circle, then they are equidistant from the centre and perpendicular

There is a right triangle formed by legs 15 and 8, with radius r being the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagoras' identity in this right angle

r² = 15² + 8² = 225 + 64 = 289 ( take the square root of both sides )

r = $\sqrt{289}$ = 17
