In a circle of radius 17 cm, two parallel chords of length 30 cm and 16 cm are drawn. If they are on opposite sides of the center, find the distance between them.
A15 cm
B23 cm
C7 cm
D25 cm
✓ Correct Answer: B — 23 cm
Dist 1 = sqrt(17^2-15^2)=8. Dist 2 = sqrt(17^2-8^2)=15. Total distance = 15 + 8 = 23 cm.
