Join OA and OC

As perpendicular drawn from the center, bisects the chord AB and CD at P and Q respectively.
AP = PB = ½ AB = 3 cm
And CQ = QD = ½ CD = 4 cm
In right triangle OAP, by Pythagorean theorem
OA 2 = OP 2 + AP 2 
2 = OP 2 + 3 2 
⇒ OP 2 = 5 2 - 3 2 
⇒ OP 2 = 25 – 9 = 16
⇒ OP = 4 cm 
In right triangle OCQ, by Pythagorean theorem
OC 2 = OQ 2 + CQ 2 
⇒ 5 2 = OQ 2 - 4 2 = 9
⇒ OQ = 3 
∴ PQ = PO – QO 
PQ = 4 -3 
PQ = 1 cm.
