In a circle with centre O, AB and CD are two diameters perpendicular to each other. The length of chord AC is
Given: O is the centre of circle
AB and CD are diameters of the circle
AO = BO = CO = DO (Radius of the circle)
In right angle AOC,
Cos A =
Cos A =
Cos A = (i)
∠OMA = 90°
∠AOM = ∠MAO = 45°
Using value of angle A in (i)
Cos 45° =
=
AC = AB
