1)
你困扰那个distance of AB form thecentre O,其实是AB中间到O的距离。(虚线)
radius = 5cm
chord = 8cm
像照片这样分一半8cm ÷ 2 = 4cm
所以 a = √(c² - b²),
a = √(5² - 4²)
a = √(25 - 16)
a = √9
a = 3cm
AB from O = 3cm
2)
chord RTS is 8cm from O, 意思是RTS中间也就是T 到 O 是 8cm(虚线)。所以计算RTS长度
a = √(c² - b²)
a = √(17² - 8²)
a = √(289 - 64)
a = √225
a = 15cm
.
RTS = 15cm + 15cm
RTS = 30cm
