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
5 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.
