Ans. Let O is center of circle. AB is chord. 

So OA is radius. Draw OM perpendicular to AB. 

We Know perpendicular from center to the chord bisects  it. 

So AM = 4cm

Now, In triangle OAM

=> OA2 = AM2 + OM2 .....(Using Pythagoras)

=> 25 = 16 + OM2

=> OM= 9

=> OM = 3

Distance of chord from center is 3 cm
