The possible distance between the parallel chords whose lengths are 6 cm and 16 cm is 15.5 cm
<h3>How to determine the length between the two chords?</h3>The diameter of the circle is given as:
D = 20cm
Calculate the radius (r)
r = 10 cm
For the chord of length 6 cm;
The distance of chord from the center of the circle is:
Evaluate
d = 9.5
For the chord of length 16 cm;
The distance of chord from the center of the circle is:
Evaluate
D = 6
The sum of both distances is the possible distance between both chords.
Distance = 9.5 + 6
Distance = 15.5
Hence, the possible distances between the chord is 15.5 cm
